A tasty smoke-out Through Saturday. If the mere thought (or sight and smell) of 30,000 pounds of smoked brisket, chicken, pulled pork and ribs revs you up, be sure to stop by the Q BBQ Fest, which runs Thursday, Aug. 22, to Saturday, Aug. 24, at Civic Center park. Pitmasters from around the country will join “some of the biggest names in BBQ” at the Weber-sponsored event, producers said, including The Food Network’s Tyler Florence. Visitors can get a free grounds pass, and all-you-can-eat-and-drink VIP upgrades are available.
