Los Alamitos, California - The Huntington Beach Pacific Airshow 2023 is more than just a spectacular display of aviation prowess; it's a testament to the dedication and bravery of the men and women in uniform. This year, West Coast BBQ Co. had the honor of providing a hearty BBQ feast to the troops at Los Alamitos Joint Force Base who were tirelessly preparing aircrafts for the show. It was a day filled with camaraderie, gratitude, and delicious flavors.


Preparing for the Pacific Airshow

The Pacific Airshow is a grand event that brings together aviation enthusiasts, professionals, and spectators from all walks of life. It's a celebration of precision, speed, and the indomitable spirit of our military personnel. However, behind the scenes, there's a dedicated team of service members working diligently to ensure that the aircraft are in peak condition for the show.

As a token of our appreciation for their tireless efforts, West Coast BBQ Co. had the privilege of serving a mouthwatering BBQ meal to the troops at Los Alamitos Joint Force Base. We knew that the preparation for the Pacific Airshow is not just physically demanding but mentally and emotionally taxing as well. Our goal was to provide a moment of respite and some delicious, comforting food to the hardworking men and women in uniform.

The BBQ Feast

Our team set up a pop-up BBQ station on the base, complete with the irresistible aroma of grilling meats and the inviting scent of our signature BBQ rubs. We served up limitless Pulled Pork Sandwiches and delicious sides, such as a Salad, Baked Beans, and Mac n’ Cheese, accompanied the main dishes perfectly.

Watching the troops savor each bite was a heartwarming experience. It was evident that our BBQ feast provided not just nourishment for their bodies but also a much-needed moment of relaxation and connection with their fellow service members.

Camaraderie and Gratitude

What made this experience truly special was the camaraderie and conversations we shared with the troops. We had the privilege of listening to their stories, learning about their experiences, and expressing our deep gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

The atmosphere was filled with shared laughter, pride, and a sense of unity. The troops' passion for their work and their dedication to ensuring the success of the Pacific Airshow was palpable.

Looking Forward

As we bid farewell to Los Alamitos Joint Force Base, we left with a profound sense of appreciation for the men and women who serve our nation. It was an honor to be a small part of their journey and to provide a moment of comfort during their tireless preparations for the Pacific Airshow.

West Coast BBQ Co. is deeply committed to supporting our military community and expressing our gratitude in meaningful ways. We look forward to future opportunities to serve those who serve our country, whether through delicious BBQ feasts, community involvement, or simply saying, "Thank you."
