CBS Early Morning Show: Friday, May 23rd, 2003
Tim Mikeska of Rudy Mikeska's in Taylor asked the El Campo bunch to be with him on the Early Show. The following are pictures from the Memorial Day BBQ segment, with Rene Syler, Julie Chen, and Harry Smith. |

We got started early Friday morning with all the cooking. Notice we have this whole kitchen taken up with BBQ, and we were in the kitchen downstairs too. |

another batch. |

After all the work, we had time to have a few laughs as we were "anchors" at the CBS news desk.
We had a great time in New York - thanks to CBS for everything! |
