Teams had access to a field pantry to prepare their secret rubs and sauces
Employees got a chance to pull up their shirt sleeves and don on a SYD apron to prepare their winning BBQ rub and secret BBQ sauce. Each team was required to cook tri tip and chicken thighs and turn them in for judging in competition-style Styrofoam trays which they decorated with some garnish. Everyone had fun especially when it came to dusting the meat with the proper amount of rub and applying finishing touches with sauce and garnish. They were shown the safe method to light briquettes and how to set up a Weber kettle properly for low and slow cooking. Everyone was fully engaged and asked many questions.
Class was followed by a BBQ lunch with ribs, chicken, coleslaw, beans, and cornbread. As a special treat, they also had our Slap Yo Daddy signature appetizer: Seared Ahi Tuna w Maui Onion Dressing. The BBQ was accompanied with beer pairings for each of the individual meats including the ahi.
