On Monday, July 21 from 3 – 4 p.m., Chef Andrew Cowan from Hundred Bar & Kitchen will be sharing his love of all things pig when he shows participants how to break down and use different cuts of pork for BBQ.

Chef Cowan invited me into the kitchen when he was breaking down an Irving Farms pig last summer and it was fascinating – his desire to share his love of pork is infectious. In this session you’ll learn his secrets on how to properly brine, smoke, and cook different cuts of meat on the BBQ. Chef Cowan will be showing you how simple it is to prep, cook, and serve pork belly and pork shoulder on the BBQ.
