Welcome to Texas Inspired by Aaron Franklin and Franklyn Barbecue we have put together an amazing evening of smoking, interaction, and socialising. You will enter our barbecue shack any time before 7pm where you will be greeted by the smell of smoke and a complimentary drink. We will have at least 3 barbecues on full blast with a selection of Texas style classics including of course brisket, ribs, and smoked turkey. We will give a talk on each cut of meat including Where to source your meat What to look for How much to feed people Meat hygiene and safety Dry rubs Smoking woods, charcoals, and other flavours Different types of barbecue Cooking times and temperatures Sauced and glazes Serving and storing We will eat dinner at around 8:30pm. It will be a full sit down dinner with silver service cutlery and crockery, bottomless complimentary drinks, and as much as you can eat. Dessert will be served and then it will be time for taxis and a great night’s sleep with dreams of The Lone Star State.
