Cooking Class Swamp Boys BBQ in Chicagoland Area

I have been in talks with Rob from Swamp Boys BBQ about coming up and doing a class in the Chicagoland area. To make this happen, he needs minimum 20 people and I believe maximum 30. I want to know solid answers as to who would be interested in this class. The class is a cost of $500. This is a one chance opportunity to not have to spend $1,000's (because you know your spouse wouldn't let you go without her :wink to fly down to Flordia to take this class. Please let me know and we can push forward with setting things up with Rob.

After talking with Rob, he said his quiet time is during the summer. Unfortunately around here that is the heart of our local competitions due to harsh winters. I was thinking either late October or wait until either late March/early April when things thaw out up here. This will give everyone an opportunity to practice some new methods prior next seasons competition season. Let me know your thoughts.

I got word from Rob about class dates. Because of his full-time career, we started discussing specific dates to help narrow in on a class date. Due to Rob's full-time job, ironically it's not BBQ, and upcoming competitions, the best fitting time for him would be Spring. The best available date for Rob would be March 29-30. Hope this still works for the many of you interested. If you are interested, please let me know so we can start to get things rolling on getting Rob up here and get you booked for the class.
