Intermediate BBQ workshop

There are plenty of purveyors of barbecue, but few true masters of the pit. Chef James Anderson is one of them, locally beloved and nationally renowned by connoisseurs and critics alike for offering “the real deal”. Anderson’s decades of experience and insight are available to a small group, only those eager to acquire his refined methods for cooking with indirect low and slow smoke. For four hours, you’ll learn from the master himself as he reveals the secrets behind the smoke. Whether you’re newer to the ‘cue or a seasoned backyard warrior prepared to up your game — come ready, and come hungry. And because the best barbecue starts on the farm, Anderson Farms will be the host and venue for this workshop where you’ll learn how his heritage breed hogs are raised, along with a menagerie of livestock. Take a break from city life. Clear your calendar. Gather ‘round and spend an afternoon with fellow smoke enthusiasts as Ray Ray shares the techniques needed to create your own signature barbecue.

This intermediate course is a continuation of the beginners bbq class offered by Chef James.
