Temescal Palms Lodge Annual BBQ

 On Saturday, Sept 19^th, Temescal Palms Lodge in Corona held their annual BBQ. As usual it was a great success. We started the fire on Friday the 18^th at 11:00 AM and fed it until around 4 PM. At approximately 5:30 PM we put approximately 180Lbs of beef and pork into the fire and closed it up.

The next morning at 8:30 the pit was opened and the meat had been cooked to perfection. Our chefs then began pulling the beef and pork and getting ready for the meal. We had 180 lbs of meat, 40 lbs of potato asked salad , 6 gallons of baked beans and 12 dozen fresh baked French rolls. When we opened the doors at 10:00 AM we had people ready to eat. We actually started serving at 10:00 AM and had a steady stream of customers until  3:00 PM.  At 1:30 PM we ran out of pork and at 2PM ran out of potato salad. We whipped up three more batches of  potato salad and kept on feeding the hunger hoard.

All in all I believe were served in excess of 200 folks and no one went away hungry or dissatisfied. It was a great day in the history of our lodge as this being the 4^th annual BBQ, it keeps getting bigger every year.  If you attended then you know how good it was. If you didn’t then you will have to suffer until next year when we do it again.
