[TriLUG] Crazy Fire Lunch

[Jim Ray]

I admit to being a transplant and am from way out West in Greensboro :-)
 
Sorry about bailing on lunch today. I had a job interview starting at 9 AM that went until 11:30 AM and think I just hired a new employee.

So, as for lunch, I could care less where we go and would enjoy the fellowship whether we eat with our hands in the park from a brown bag or whatever. Let's stab another time and place and make it happen.

I can do this or next Friday lunch as well as the next Tuesday. What works for you?

Regards,
 
Jim

Jim,
 Two different companies. Smithfield's Chicken and BBQ, Inc, and Smithfield's of Virgina (parent of Murphy-Brown Farms, Inc of NC). 
You're referring to Smithfield's Foods.

Fun processing fact:

The largest pork processing facility in NC is in Turkey, NC, between Warsaw, NC (exit 264 on 40 towards Wilmington), and Clinton, NC. Turkey does NOT have any poultry production or processing facilities. Oh and they are the home of Elizabeth's Pecan Products.

Hey, when you're from the area, you learn lots of bizarre trivia.
