Real Urban Barbecue Celebrates its First Birthday November 11, 2011

We’re Number One! Real Urban Barbecue (610 Central Avenue #177 in downtown Highland Park) is celebrating its first birthday on Saturday, November 12.

Real Urban Barbecue will commemorate year one with a birthday party featuring a larger-than-life, three-dimensional Big Pig Cake created by Bleeding Hearts Bakery. The pig cake will be butchered, sliced and served complimentary to guests while supplies last. To top it off, pigs will fly when Real Urban Barbecue inflates a 25-foot tall pig balloon in Port Clinton Square.

And there’s plenty to celebrate. In one year Real Urban Barbecue boasts having sold 77,504.8 pounds of brisket- that’s 212.34 pounds per day, or the equivalent of about 484.57 sandwiches per day. To thank loyal fans for reaching those numbers, guests who order a brisket entrée or brisket sandwich may show their years in age (with valid i.d.) to receive the equivalent percentage off- for example, a 50-year-old would receive 50 percent off of their entrée.

Also, guests born on November 12 will receive their entire meal for free (with valid i.d.).
