2021 Nanza!

No one told the lizard team of any tamales!....that just ain't right

It's self inflicted...I got a bowl of gumbo from seeing one floating around, but didn't take the time to inquire about all the other goodies I missed out on. I'm not gonna ignore the entire cover of that tent's contents again. Lessons learned.

I did try to spread the word & it certainly wasn't a secret as they did last well past noon...heck, I wasn't sure how to even properly warm them up, but wrapping them with extra foil & laying them out on the top of the Hoss's firebox turned out to be an easy ticket.

Gotta get back with team Rib next year!

Kinda messed that up. Y’all know what I meant 😂

What a great time visiting with old friends and making a few new ones! The weather was great and the food was outstanding. We missed a lot of the regular cooking teams, but Team Rib and Team Boudin Road Show really stepped up. Big thanks to all those who showed up early to prep, cook and contribute!

As expected, it was a much smaller crowd than we've had in the past, but I'm so happy Mary (and others) pushed to make a post-Covid Bownanza happen, even with the restrictions on cooking teams and little time to prepare! Thanks to everybody that came out to make this a memorable Bownanza!

Eldog sighting!
Next year will be the 20th Annual event, and we'll likely be back to our regular timeframe. Be sure to pencil in your calendars now!

If I would have known Delia's was on the menu....

I've driven a couple hundred miles to get those!

I learned that Delia's tamales are amazing for breakfast. I got busy so I only got two that Michaela brought me. I'd have eaten 12 if I coulda got to 'em!

Heck yes...Delia's are straight up legit groceries [emoji30][emoji106][emoji106]

I was thinking the same exact thing...it's always been a blur on making wanted / expected contacts in the past, but never would have guessed I would have missed several of the wanted greets on this small crew. You weren't the only one I'm bummed I missed to say hey in person. It's a very unique get together & while this one was said to be different, it was still very familiar in some aspects.

Heck, I guess I took the girls back to the hotel when the group pick was taken & didn't think it even happened till I saw it here...that is just how bownanza rolls.

We plan on being back next year if possible so maybe we'llmeet then. We were pulling out of the parking lot when the group pic was taken.

Not sure how I managed to not meet you. I ended up down by the gator legs and gumbo and never left. Got caught up talking with John B and some other fellas and lost track of time and had to go.

The trip was a blessing & good for the soul...heart warming to see old friends, while making new ones!! It's the first time in a long time where it simply felt normal & joyous without any static.

I guess we will add tamales to the next check list.

Sorry, I left out Team Tamale! Those were legit and hit the spot for early morning breakfast until the other food was done.

Hopefully we can all get back on the horse for the Big 20th next year!

Thanks for sharing the pics Casey and Michael. I recognize some really good folks in them............and Burnadell 😜
