Led by Joe Zavala at Zavala's Barbecue. Learn to select, prep, trim, and season a brisket like a Texas pitmaster — the exact way they do it at Zavala's, a Texas Monthly Top 50 joint. This isn't a demo — it's a hands-on, inside look at how Top 50 BBQ is actually made. Come hungry, leave inspired.

Informative in a way that applies to beginners and to experts. Lots of time for questions too. I’ll recommend future classes to my friends.
Really good and laid back. Enjoyed. I will keep an eye out for next year. But I will volunteer for the zavalas bash. Not an expert bbqer. But have 26 years experience in service industry as bartender and server.
Information was good. But presentation was fantastic.
I loved the laid back atmosphere based mostly on Q and A. It gave us all a chance to learn and he does not hold back.
