The Albany Society for the Advancement of Philanthropy's annual Festival of Meats is this Saturday, September 13. We have a pair of tickets and we're giving them away.
To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
What's something meaty about the Capital Region?
You can interpret this, literally or figuratively, however you like. It could be a topic, a place, an attribute, whatever. We'll draw one winner at random.
The Festival of Meats is from 4-8 pm Saturday at The Albany Elks Lodge. It includes an all-you-can-eat selection of "whole roast pig, Baltimore-style beef, Korean-style ribs, bacon, clams, huli huli chicken, sausages, and more." There will also be wings and BBQ pulled rabbit from R'Eisen Shine Farm of Copake as appetizers.
Tickets are $25 and available online. Proceeds support the ASAP scholarship fund.

The apple orchards in the Capital Region are meaty--the apples they yield are plentiful, abundant, and delicious!

How about the "Ham-Fisted" way this question was phrased? No just kidding.
The air in Center Square is full of the meaty fragrance of those end of season BBQs.

Mrs Trobovich over in Green Island made a nine pound pljeskavica to celebrate some Serbian holiday nobody could understand. Also, Tito was out on bail again. The pljeskavica was so big she served it in an old concrete bird bath. The blue paint flecked off and speckled the kajmak, but everyone agreed the lead in the paint really went well with the Slivovitz. After dancing the Kolo, Tito shot an apple off Mr Chizmar's head with a bazooka. Bail cancelled.

The summer season has past, and with that we say goodbye (I was going to say "adieu", but that's too fancy a word) to Jumpin' Jacks burgers. The meaty, greasy smell of Jumpin' Jack's grill is the scent of Summer in Scotia.

Fred the Butcher in Halfmoon, you always end up smelling like smoke after you go (in a good way).
