Great Lakes BBQ Association Cooking Class

[Angio333]

I am a HUGE BBQ and smoked food fan.

My wife and I attended the Great Lakes BBQ Association's first cooking class in Holly, Michigan.

It was a great class, the food was amazing, and the guys/girls from the GLBA were very friendly. The price was also very affordable, $35 for me and $10 for my wife.

It included a pulled pork sandwhich, coleslaw, and cornbread for lunch. The sandwich was great and the sauce was amazing.

The classes included samples of all of the food we learned about. Off of the top of my head, we tried bacon wrapped pork loin, chicken lollipops, beef tri-tips, chicken quarters, atomic buffalo turds, salmon, and ribs.

There was also a segment on how to make a rub, with free samples of the instructor's rub.

I should note that the ribs were the best I ever had. It used the same sauce as the pulled pork. It is called Hickory BBQ & Grill D Soul Sauce. One of the guys who runs the GLBBA makes it and sells it.

I ended up buying 5 different bottles of sauce. Off course, I bought a bottle of Hickory BBQ & Grill D Soul Sauce.

The class was from 10:00 - 16:00. It was very well run and they managed time very well. You would not have known that it was their first class.

It was more than worth the 3 and a half hour drive from Cleveland to attend.
