BBQ Camp 2012

This year was the 2nd Annual Barbecue Summer Camp here in College Station! We here in the Meat Science section partnered with Foodways Texas and welcomed participants for a weekend full of barbecue cooking.

During the weekend-long event, the participants were able to meet our award-winning meat science professors, pit masters, and many other well-known individuals in the barbecue world. The attendees learned about different types of meat, smoke, and spices, and how these different meats, smokes, and spices affect taste, flavor, juiciness, etc.

Participants also learned about BBQ history, touring the legendary, Martin’s Place, located in Bryan.

Thanks & Gig Em!
