The Rotary Foundation of Brockport, Inc. will kick off the 2012 BBQ and Music Fest with a BBQ cooking class on Sunday, May 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Knowlwood Lodge in Northampton Park in Brockport.
The class will be taught by Rob Giordano, president and owner of the BBQ Shop Inc. and a member of Noel’s Competition BBQ Team. He has many years of experience in BBQ and has brought his teachings to universities in the Niagara region. Rob will be assisted by Noel Grosskopf, president and chef of Noel’s Competition BBQ and Catering Co. from Albion. Both men have an unparalleled passion for the art of BBQ cooking.
“We are excited to be able to share our knowledge of BBQ that we have learned over the years, while at the same time supporting the Rotary, The Brockport BBQ Festival, and The Wilmot Cancer Center. The class will certainly be an active learning experience as BBQ is as much an art as a science” Grosskopf noted.
Cooks of all skills levels are encouraged to attend. Registration fees are $70 per person or $115 per couple and includes a light lunch. Cooks should walk away from the class with a good knowledge of flavor profiles, fire management, picking and trimming meats, and other tips. Registration can be completed at www.brockportbbqfest.com. Proceeds from the event support the BBQ Festival and the Wilmot Cancer Center.
The third annual Brockport BBQ and Music Festival takes place July 6 to 8 at Northampton Park. The event includes five cook-off events, live music, a children’s activities area, a car cruise-in, a motorcycle poker run and a beer garden.
