Big Day BBQ to go all out on Father’s Day June 16

FEAST WITH DAD
Big Day BBQ to go all out on Father’s Day with Carolina-style Whole Hog and more

Vancouver’s barbecue pop-up, Big Day Barbeque (BBQ), is going all out for dads everywhere with a special Father’s Day menu on Sunday, June 16^th, 2019 at Powell Brewery’s backyard (1357 Powell Street). The main event includes a Carolina-style whole hog brined for three days inside a vintage Powell Brewery beer barrel.

“For our first Father’s Day event, we wanted to do something really special and make it a celebration,” says Rhys Amber, who co-founded the original Big Day concept with chef Colin Staus and Powell Brewery’s David Bowkett a couple years ago. “The wood from the barrel will be used to smoke the hog. Once ready, the team will use its house made Carolina-style vinegar sauce for extra flavour. It’s going to be a big day! We want everyone to bring their dads and father-figures out for some barbecue, beer, desserts, and great company.”

About Big Day Barbeque (BBQ)
Originally created by Rhys Amber, formerly Campagnolo Roma and Bistro Wagon Rouge, Colin Staus, formerly Campagnolo and Monarch Burger, and Powell Brewerys’s David Bowkett a couple years ago, the Big Day BBQ series is a celebration of Southern-style BBQ in its truest form – feasting on good ol’ barbecue and beer with friends in a fun environment. This year they are joined by Downlow Chicken’s Doug Stephen, who knows a thing or two about cooking good grub.
