On Wednesday, July 11th, Pat and Gina Neely are hosting Neely’s Barbecue Parlor’s One Year Anniversary Bash.

It promises to be quite the southern soiree, with mouthwatering barbecue food with Chef Wade Burch’s signature gourmet twist — think collard green quiche and blackened catfish crostini —  colorful cocktails and more.

There are three different ticket options: 

The VIP “Stax Avenue to Fifth Avenue” ticket ($250) allows early admission at 6:30 pm to the intimate cocktail reception with Pat and Gina, a custom-made dessert extravaganza created by Gina, exclusive access to a private dining room and a personalized autographed copy of the couple’s Celebrations and Southern Family cookbook.

The “Graceland Drive to Madison Avenue” ticket ($150) includes access to the exclusive cocktail reception with Pat and Gina at 7:00 pm and a complimentary set of Neely’s delicious custom BBQ sauces.

The “Beale Street to Broadway” ($95) ticket offers a bountiful selection of colorful cocktails and out of this world hors d’oeuvres starting at 7:30 pm.

I wish I was in town for this one. Love them. Fun. Go.
