EDDIE'S PORTABLE PIG-OUT: PICS OF THE BBQ/TAILGATE/BACKYARD PARTY OPERATION
If you'd like to see the Pig Roast Operation, Please Click over to "Pigroast Pictures". Click HERE for General Pig Roast information, to include pricing, pictures, and FAQs. The following pictures are mainly for BBQs/Weddings/Corporate Events/Tailgate Parties and generally the "full service" catering that can be accomplished with the 16' Trailer.. By the way, I have four trailers which can combine for jobs to very large headcounts. If you'd like to see some suggested BBQ menu packages, Click over to the Menu page.

A side view of the Freshly painted and overhauled 16' trailer outside at a gig in 2009. This is towed
by the new 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel Pickup Truck. For those of you
seriously considering my services, I've created an entire page relating to what
supports us, logistically speaking. Whether it's a pig roast, or an event
featuring grilled items, the logistical needs are similar. Please
click Here for that.
I have a fully operational stereo in the 16' trailer. Not the greatest system in the world, mind you...but it does work,
once in a while.. A single CD player, a tape deck, a receiver that works 95% of the time....and two sets of speakers, one permanently mounted inside, and one remote set that I hang on (either side) of the trailer's exterior.
I even added a cord making this Ipod/MP3 player compatible.
(If you need serious sound reinforcement, this ain't it...you have to hire a DJ
with professional equipment). Also note the crap that I carry: Extra Extension Cords, Flagpole, all sorts of tape, odds and ends... Lighting.
Here's one
of the new grills aboard the 16' cargo trailer. This is the charcoal one.
The legs unscrew for efficient storage. The
equipment page shows off the entire array of equipment that supports EPPO.
Here's the other
grill aboard the 16' trailer. A Commercial Propane grill.
I have 1 more of these in storage. (3 large flattop grills total,
and the means to convert my pig roasters to support additional grilling for
massive events).
This is the roaster
now situated in the 16' trailer. (I own four similar roasters now). Professional quality, Stainless Steel grates and additional grill
racks (not shown here).... typically used for 100-110lb pigs or
smaller)... Also can be used as a massive oven, capable of
handling Ribs, Chickens, Turkeys, Top Rounds of Beef, Baked Potatoes, Whole
Fish, Venison Roasts, Lamb Roasts, etc, etc. It can also be
used to heat trays. Check out the
pigroast pages for more info.
Here's the salad bar. A small multi-layered salad, dressings on the
side, Pineapples, Melons, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Cole Slaw, and some
condiments for the grillables . The salad bar clearly needs re-icing
on this super hot heat-wave day. Sorry I didn't take this
picture AFTER the re-icing, but until I can find a better picture, this'll have
to do.
Here's a vintage shot of the Ayers kitchen area. We set under an awning, so
the rain was no problem. With this Equipment, we could've easily handled 150
people. Lighting allowed for Night Operations.
This is
the footprint you can expect for the "The Big Pig Gig with Grilled Foods".
Five 6 foot tables in the front. One table parallel and behind where
the pig gets served to. The width of the spread is about 10' (the size of
the 10x10 canopy), the Length of the line is about 30 feet.
The client should provide the equivalent of three 10'x10" EZ-UP Canopies in the
event of rain. In this case, and EZ-Up was erected just for
protection from the sun. The Various "Super Deluxe Picnics"
would have a similar footprint, minus the Roaster. This picture was
taken while standing on the gate of my 16' trailer. More on event
logistics Here.
John at the
Grill. At the moment, Some Fresh Grilled Summer Veggies, Bratwurst,
and some hot Italian Sausage.
George and
Fred during a July 4th party. On the Grill: Spare Ribs, London
Broil, Burgers, Hot dogs, Chicken breasts.
Drinks are served "serve yourself style". Not pretty, but functional. The Brand Name Soda is in 2L bottles, on ice, with a good array of
Brand Name Diet & Regular sodas. A cooler full of ice with a serving scoop. A Stack of Cups. A Bottomless jug of ice water
(or bottled water, if desired). Some Juices. Honestly,
you get better bang for the buck if you handle your own beverage services.
Not only won't I provide alcohol, I take back the coolers when I leave.
Your party may last beyond our departure.
Here's the 20' x 20' internal frame party canopy,
which I can be talked into renting out for the event. Shown here being put to the test at my own house party in
the rain. The clear wind walls are not shown. Please Click here
for an indepth discussion about how we handle Inclement Weather.
Please Call (973) 627-2722 to Discuss Your Event. Usually 6pm-10pm, Weeknights. Please leave a Message otherwise. Also be sure to mention the potential date(s), estimated headcount, location, and the nature of the event. Thanks!
