| 5/16/2025 | Learn, hands-on, the art of making bacon. Join three-time hall of fame Wurstmeister Mike Sloan for this VIP event that’s informative and entertaining. Mike will show you the ropes. This event covers topics such as dry-cured vs. wet-cured, and different flavors of bacon (jalapeno, apple-wood smoked, Bourbon pepper, Mexican-style, and more). Many of you only make bacon once or twice a year and if it turns out that’s great, but if not, then you need to change something. You should only change one thing at a time, or you won’t know what you changed that you now like. So, you might make some undesirable bacon, or you might say to heck with it over the course of 4-5 years. By taking my classes you will go from zero to hero! more info... |
