Korilla BBQ Hired for Todd Rohal Comedy Wrap Party

Posted on: September 28th, 2011 by

Korilla BBQ isn’t often seen in these parts, so Lower East Side appearances tend to energize the natives.  An excited reader emailed us last night to say the food truck was parked on Norfolk Street.  Unfortunately for him (and others), Korilla was commissioned for a private event.  That itself was confirmed via their Twitter handle.

What wasn’t publicized, however, is that this was allegedly part of the wrap party for an as-yet-untitled indie comedy by Todd Rohal, starring Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt. Only folks with wristbands could order.  VIP. Festivities were held through the night at the Back Room, that not-so-secret secret bar at 102 Norfolk Street.

Here’s a snippet from the official press release that circulated late last month:

Johnny Knoxville and Patton Oswalt have signed on to co-star in Todd Rohal’s latest, an outlandish yet poignant comedy about a pair of battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a last ditch camping trip that goes wildly wrong. The film marks the first time comedic foils Knoxville and Oswalt will be sharing the big screen. Joining the team for the ensemble comedy are Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney & Patrice O’Neal.
