Barbecue University™
BBQ University™ 2021 – Menus Revealed!
As the sun rises over the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina, we’ll be firing up our grills and smokers for 2021 session of Barbecue University™—June 17 through 20—just in time for Father’s Day.
And what a menu we have for you this year—with electrifying recipes inspired by the new season of Steven’s Project Fire TV show and his sizzling new book, How to Grill Vegetables—both launching in May!
Expect the unexpected: from wood fires to caveman grilling, from hay smoking to reverse searing. Think grilled avocados with salbitxada (Spanish grilled vegetable sauce). Think Lowcountry oyster roast and spicy Korean short ribs. Think hickory-smoked whole beef tenderloin, a wood-fired crab boil, and smoked strawberry-rhubarb crisp for dessert. Plus grilled citrus sangria and smoky dragon’s breath cocktails to slake your thirst.
As always at Barbecue University™, YOU do the grilling and smoking under Steven’s supervision in our Covid-safe outdoor kitchen, with more than two dozen smokers, grills, and wood-burning ovens.
You can’t beat our new location: the luxurious Montage Palmetto Bluff Resort in the heart of the Carolina Lowcountry, where students stay in stylish rooms in the inn or romantic cottages in the village.
Yes, the three-hour classes, followed by lavish lunches, are intense, but you’ll have plenty of time off to enjoy Jack Nicklaus signature golf, fishing, boating, and more on the resort’s 20,000-plus acres.
Your instructor is global grilling authority Steven Raichlen—the five-time James Beard Award-winner and Barbecue Hall of Famer who wrote bestselling Barbecue Bible cookbook series and hosts Project Fire and Project Smoke on Public Television.
