Short and Sweet: Your Ultimate BLT Bar
A hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 14 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.
The BLT is a classic for a reason, so let’s get into the nitty gritty of this amazing sandwich! In just two hours, students will learn how to cure and smoke their own bacon, make fresh, crispy, focaccia, and make an array of tantalizing condiments to curate the BLT of their dreams! Do you like avocado on your BLT? Prefer sriracha aioli to classic mayo? Want to replace the tomato with a thick slice of perfectly ripe peach??? Do you want to add a little pickled shallot or cucumber to the mix? We're going to prepare a BLT bar that will allow YOU to decide what makes your BLT the ultimate iteration of the age old sandwich!
