Comfort Zone Camp Richmond

Hey friends and family.  As you guys know, I suffer from a BBQ problem.  Mostly, I can't get enough, be it fixing it, eating it, or sharing the experience with others.  Yesterday, my partner Mark Agee and I were blessed to help out at Comfort Zone Camp in Goochland Va doing a full dinner for the over 200 campers and guidance personnel.  Our friend and mentor,  John Atkins, along with Eric Blum have been involved with cooking for this wonderful organization for 3 years now. This was the first year Mark and I have helped, and what a great feeling and humbling experience it was. This is a camp of kids that have lost a parent, a sibling or a caretaker. Please check out there web link at the end of this email. What a great organization, first class, and the kids are fantastic! We prepared a whole pig (named Pete the Pig), potato salad, homemade slaw, homemade meatless lasagna, pulled pork, brisket and hot-dogs.  We were treated like heroes, but in the end its the counselors, and support staff along with the kids that are the heroes. I can't wait for the next opportunity to help out with this organization.
