Dr. BBQ’s Real Deal Cooking Class In Detroit, Michigan on April 21-22, 2007


Fred Himself and DrBBQ Himself at the end of the 24 hours class.

...........................................................................

Here is the ad I saw for the class on Ray's web site.
.....The class goes straight through the night, with everyone prepping and cooking their own chicken, ribs, pork butt and beef brisket, all chosen and supplied for you by Dr. BBQ. We’ll also supply all the championship sauces and seasoning. We’ll share absolutely all of Dr. BBQ’s contest secrets, from meat prep to presentation. Keep in mind that this class is heavily aimed at KCBS contests, but we’ve had plenty of novice cooks attend and have a great time. Speaking of KCBS, there are quite a few teams winning and giving big credit to this class. The class will be wrapped up at around 1:00 on Sunday, and your leftovers are yours to take home.We’d like you to bring your cooker, but there are always plenty of big cookers to share if you can’t. We’ll try to get you matched up with a cooker that you might be thinking about buying. You’ll need to bring your own refreshments. We supply a limited amount of bottled water, and dinner on Saturday night and we’ll be having BBQ for breakfast on Sunday.

and that is how it went ... Ray taught all the techniques he uses at a contest ... I left Detroit with a cooler full of hot brisket, pork butt, ribs and chicken ... I drove back to our friends place in Port Stanley Canada for an evening dinner of totally kick-ass barbecue which I had prepared at the class.

Ray knows what he's doing and to have an opportunity to learn from the master was a great thrill!
