Get your fill of BBQ and Booze this weekend at Pig & Whiskey! The FREE 3 day festival kicks off on Friday, July 17th and runs all weekend long. There will be food from over a dozen local restaurants, over 50 different whiskeys available, some of your favorite local musicians on stage, and your favorite beers on tap.
This year's list of restaurants includes some of the best restaurants Metro Detroit has to offer. Alley Taco, Detroit BBQ Company, Famous Daves, Jay Ray's BBQ, Mac Shack, Old Carolina, The Proper Pig, Rock City Eatery, RUB, Rubbed, Slows, Sticks & Bones, Smoke Ring, Treat Dreams, Union Woodshop, Vinsetta Garage, Woodpile BBQ Shack and Zeke's Rock & Roll BBQ will all be on deck filling your belly up with barbecued goodness. Earlier this week the main man behind the festival, Chris Johnston, and Zeke's own Mike Mouyianis hit the airwaves to spread the word about this year's festival and show off some of the eats that Zeke's will be offering this weekend. Check it out below.
