Bluestem Barbecue and other weekend possibilities

- Bluestem is throwing one heck of a barbecue.
Life is really only about three things: beer, bourbon and barbecue. All three will be in high demand at Bluestem’s summer barbecue on Roanoke, from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday. Enjoy chef Colby Garrelts’ barbecue (as well as fried chicken and a shrimp boil), chef Megan Garrelts’ all-American desserts, Four Roses bourbon, and Boulevard beer (including the all-new Hoppy Wheat). Tickets cost $50 for all you can eat plus four drink tickets and a copy of the book Four Roses: The Return of a Whiskey Legend. You can make a reservation by calling 816-561-1101.
