LD’s BBQ, 1880 Highway ES, East Troy, is holding a barbecue class from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 31.
LD’s owner Leon Davis said he’s holding the event for a second year in a row to share some of the secrets of his success.
“So many people ask questions every day that I am going to set aside some time to answer those questions in a focused manner,” Davis said. “I will also be serving some items that I want to add to the menu and give them a try in a small group that can give me immediate feedback.”
Local home-barbecue master John Finney will speak on how to prepare and barbecue brisket, among other things. Finney has been barbecuing in his backyard for years and often hosts “barbecue parties” to share his food with friends and family. He said he has learned much since he started and wants to show others how to bring out the best of their barbecue.
“Low and slow is the mantra of barbecue cooking, low heat over a long time is required to turn out that unique taste … conventional “grilling” is quick and high heat for leaner meats such as chicken, chops, burgers and steaks. Barbecue is for fattier, tougher pieces of meat that over time will tenderize and render that unique flavor.”
Finney will have tips for how to set up a backyard barbecue station, what type of equipment is needed and where to find the best supplies.
The cost is $10 per person and includes samples and lunch. Davis asks that people call ahead at (414) 610-7675 to register because there is limited seating at the restaurant.
