There aren’t many organizations that can put together a really good meal for thousands of people more quickly and efficiently than the Asphalt Cowboys. Wednesday the yellow-shirted cowboys will be canvassing the area selling tickets for their big annual barbeque and live auction, now in its 70th year. On September 8th from 11AM to 6PM at Caldwell Park, around 5500 Pounds of Tri-Tip and more than 2500 Pounds of chicken will be accompanied by about 500 Gallons of the famous Cowboy Beans, 450 pounds of Coleslaw and a Thousand loaves of garlic bread. That all adds up to almost 10,000 meals all ready to serve. The food can be eaten there at the park, where there’s a live auction from 1PM to 3PM and other entertainment, or customers can just drive through the park and pick it up to go. The cost is $15 the day of the event or $13 when purchased in advance at Paint Mart, LuLu’s, San Francisco Deli or from any yellow shirted Asphalt Cowboy. asphaltcowboys.org for details.
