| On the Road with OCBC Upcoming Event Schedule In just the first full month of competing on the Summer rib cook-off circuit, Old Carolina has already added three wins to our continually growing championship tally. We’ve beaten some of the best barbecue “ribbers” in the country and we’re fired up and ready for more. Here are the awards we’ve snagged so far: PEOPLE’S CHOICE BEST RIBS 2-time Champion Strongsville Rib Burnoff BEST PULLED PORK SANDWICH Pittsburgh Ribs on the River PEOPLE’S CHOICE WINNER 5-time Champion Berea National Rib Cook-off (Berea, OH) See our entire “trophy room” At the end of this month, we’ll face more stiff competition at the Charleston RibFest in West Virginia. If you get a chance to attend the event, stop by Old Carolina. We’d love to see you! Once the RibFest is over, there will be no rest for the weary because the Pro Football HOF Rib Burn-off starts just three days later! This year we’ll be vying for our eighth consecutive People’s Choice award and we can’t do it without our loyal fan base. When you visit the burnoff this year, stop out to the OC pit and listen to the old-school funk, dance with the grill team and taste the ribs off our most seasoned smoker, Peaches. For the last nine years of competition, Peaches was responsible for most of our awards and when you try her ribs, you’ll know why. Here are the dates for the upcoming festivals: July 28, 29, 30, 31 - Charleston RibFest - Charleston, WV August 3, 4, 5 - Pro Football HOF Rib Burnoff - Canton, OH |

| Barbecue Buzz OCBC wins “Best Barbecue” on Fox 8’s Hot List While it sure is nice to beat ribbers from all across the country at burnoffs, it is also very satisfying whenever we can earn a local award for a competition against other great restaurants in Northeast Ohio. Thank you to everyone who logged on and voted Old Carolina Barbecue Company The Best Barbecue! We appreciate it very much and we’ll work diligently to maintain the standard of excellence our customers expect. |

| “Off the menu” Recipe of the Month Pulled Pork Quesadilla Sometimes great recipes are created out of necessity. This particular recipe was born when trying to find a creative way to utilize left over pulled pork from one of our heaping pulled pork platters (It’s also a great recipe if you have leftovers from OCBC catering). After a little tinkering (and a lot of sampling) to get it just right, we’ve come up with the ultimate fusion of barbecue and Mexican cuisine. Try it the next time you have people over for a Summer get-together and watch people freak out about how delicious these are. Grilled Pulled Pork Quesadilla
