Barbecue Masters Go Whole Hog for Madison Square Park

Barbecue deity Ed Mitchell trucked coffin-sized grills this week from his North Carolina base to New York to roast dozens of whole hogs.

If this weekend’s 2-day Big Apple Barbecue Block Party runs to form, Mitchell’s sandwiches will trigger half-hour lines, the way they did for some of last year’s 130,000 visitors.
