I love doing bbq classes!

cmcadams · 05-31-2009, 02:35 PM

I just did my 5th 3 hour bbq class yesterday. The others were much more work, but my partner/teammate Mark now has a Fast Eddie in a trailer that made prep for the class very simple (he did most of the cooking overnight). The class was done from 2-5, with 18 people in the class.

The menu was:
Spare Ribs
Brisket and Burnt Ends
Pulled Pork
Beer Can Chicken
Tomato Pie
Apple Bacon Salad
Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

I didn't take photos, as I was busy teaching the class. All the evaluations were very good, and one person said it was the 20th class he'd taken, and ours was by far the best of any of them.

A few people even suggested doing DVDs and selling them. So Mark and I are considering doing a video podcast monthly on my blog. It should be fun, I think.

if only you had hired someone to take photos...
maybe then we could believe you!

where was the class?

cmcadams · 05-31-2009, 03:19 PM

We don't make enough to hire a photographer. :) I got a few shots at a previous class, but decided to not even try this time.

The class was at Cooks' Wares in Springboro. We're considering an 8 hour hands-on class in late July in Clayton.

I should try something like that it could be fun.

Mark and I just recorded your class a couple of years ago, and we copy it. (kidding of course).

BTW, Ray, if you know a contact person at BGE that I could talk to about problems with my platesetters, could you PM it to me, please? Local rep isn't helpful at all.

Hey, please let me know when you have the next class. I might have to attend that tom pick up some pointers since I am new and am currently in the middle of my very first smoke all on my own!!

And Clayton is not far from me being in Dayton.

cmcadams · 05-31-2009, 06:06 PM

The next one will be longer, and hands-on. Bring your own smoker, meats will be supplied. It's going to be more learning not only how to do the meats, but how to do them on your own equipment.

We'll probably have at least one more guy there helping, too, someone that has used a UDS quite a bit.

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce, now that sounds fabulous!!! I assume the KK Bread is donuts??!?

well, that is what I will be bringing. My UDS!! Shoot me any info you have the class and the cost.

Any advanced notice on the cost would be great since money is tight right now.

Too bad Ohio is so far away, I'd love to attend one of those classes. Guess I'm going to have to see what is in the area...

Based on the first picture and all the sad looking faces, I'd say its time to set some ribs and liquor in front of them. I bet they'd be smiling then! Best of luck to ya and hope you make a killing!
