BBQ Bootcamp with Chef James Anderson of Ray Ray's Hog Pit
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.”
After drawing a long waiting list for his last Frame workshop, we’re bringing Chef James back for not one but two nights of hands-on BBQ mastery, throwing down a beginner-to-expert bootcamp.
New to the ‘cue? Join us in our judgment-free tented backlot space and learn the ins and outs from the pitmaster himself during an in-depth Intro to BBQ 101 workshop led by Chef James Wednesday night.
Or are you the more seasoned type looking to take your game to the next level with some deeper dives on techniques and methods? Then Thursday night’s Smoking Masterclass is just for you.
Or come both nights for a full nose-to-tail educational BBQ bootcamp experience with Ray Ray’s Hog Pit, and plenty of beer and whiskey from behind Frame’s marble bar to keep things moving.
