Pretty much right after breakfast, Bob got started smoking some chickens and pork ribs for a lovely Father’s Day barbecue. Here’s the chef at work!
More photos of the food and the guests, after the jump.

Mankato Historic Pub Crawl: Red Sky
Friday, June 18th, 2010For our fourth and final stop on the Mankato Historic Pub Crawl, we hit Red Sky Lounge. It is by far the hippest spot on the tour, but alas, we learned the least about its history. Instead, we heard more about what bars it had been over the years, and how the current owners came to take it over and what they’d done to renovate. Still, worth a look.
Historic Mankato Pub Crawl: Pub 500
Friday, June 18th, 2010The third spot on the pub crawl was a spot called Pub 500. For a long time, it was a gas station, conveniently located near a tire store (that’s still in business). Today, it’s a pub and restaurant, owned by the same people who own the Happy Chef chain of restaurants. Betcha didn’t know the Happy Chef was based in Mankato, Minn., didya?

Jake’s Stadium Pizza: A Last Visit
Thursday, June 17th, 2010Jake’s Stadium Pizza — one of Greg’s favorites because of its thin, crackery crust and fun toppings, such as Canadian bacon — is moving to make way for a CVS. We were there on its last weekend in the old location.
