Hands-On Workshop

This culinary workshop is designed to transform the traditional backyard barbecue fare into a sophisticated, chef-inspired dining experience. This slider-focused class teaches students that sophistication comes from technique, not just expensive cuts of meat. By using high-quality ground beef and building a "craveable" flavor profile through layering, this class provides a professional-level experience at a fraction of the cost of steak.
