Dylan Taylor BBQ Class - Austin

Rockinar · 06-23-2018, 06:56 PM

I just signed up for Dylan Taylor's BBQ class. I waiting to hear back to confirm the date.

Anyone around Texas should look into it. All the instruction classes I looked into seem to be geared at teaching competition BBQ which I'm not really interested in. Dylan is not a competition guy. He was pitmaster at LaBarbecue and Truth BBQ (two of Texas' top 10) for a couple years, and worked a bit at some other notables such as Terry Blacks, Bodacious in Longview, and 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio, and that's what he teaches. Central Texas BBQ. This is not a "class" per say, where you sit at a desk and listen to someone preach from what I gather. it's one-on-one instruction in his backyard in Austin.

Instruction is not "all meats". It's priced "per meat". So if you just want him to show you just how he does brisket or just ribs, you can do that. Price is reasonable considering you get to hang out and pick the brain of someone who has worked in the trenches of the central Texas BBQ scene for a couple years.

At first i was like...meh
Then i read about the one on one with Dylan. Cool dude. I spoke to him and another guy at LA BBQ years ago. Spent more time with them than i did in line to get food. It felt like i just bull chitting with my friends in the back yard.

La Barbeque is the best BBQ joint I've eaten at. Fantastic food!

Price is $500 for the first meat, $350 each additional. I chose brisket/ribs. I dont know if the price changes if you chose say something more simple like turkey/ribs instead.

The responses via email will be slow. Expect 3-4 days for a reply.

Dates avalible are mostly Mondays and tuesdays. He does catering and works at 2M I think on weekends.

My date is set for this Tuesday, the 26th.

I'll post feedback.

Depends on cook temp. He did seem pretty stuck on 250 though. I'm intrigued.

Take a trip to Atlanta GA area. Southern Thunder BBQ school. Many different meats, a whole lot less price.

So if you could spend at day at Ace Frehley's house picking his brain and playing guitar for $1,000, you would ditch it to go take a guitar lesson at Guitar Center because it's cheaper?

Ain't nobody going to Georgia to learn how to cook Texas BBQ.

To each his own, If my briskets came out any better from what I learned my friends and family could not take it. I have been to TX many times and I will stick with mine.
