TEXAS BARBECUE MASTERCLASS
The class for people who are already familiar with indirect cooking or smoking, and who want to take their barbecue to the next level. Relaxed, instructive and fun, with a lot to eat.
In this class, taught by competition-winning barbecue chef Lap-fai Lee, we tackle more technically challenging dishes like brisket, though the prism of Central Texan style of barbecue.
