What does it mean to be Southern in America? This says it just about as well as anything I can think of.
On July 4, 2009, The State Bistro and State Theater in Starkville, Mississippi celebrated America's Independence by building the "Largest Barbecue Sandwich in the History of the World". The previous record was 175 pounds. They weren't happy just to break the record, they shattered it with this 482 pound behemoth (pending certification by Guinness). I thought the hog's head and apple made a nice garnish.
Standing with the sandwich is one of Starkville's newest aldermen, Jeremiah Dumas. Jeremiah was one of the people who spent 45 minutes constructing the sandwich on stage . The barbecue was excellent, and proceeds of the event went to the Starkville Police Department.
This was taken with a Canon S5 IS and a Speedlite 580EXII flash mounted on a Trek-Tech monopod held over my head using my DIY USB remote shutter trigger and CHDK firmware modification. Jeremiah and the sandwich were on a stage, I was standing on the floor below him in front of the stage with the camera about six feet over my head.
