Rescheduled 2021 Barbecue Summer Camp

Foodways Texas at The University of Texas, Austin, and the Meat Science Section of the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University, College Station, are happy to announce that we will hold the rescheduled 2021 Barbecue Summer Camp June 3-5th, 2022.

Barbecue Summer Camp is a three day event held in June each year. Attendees gather in College Station, Texas for an intensive look at the traditions and practices of Texas barbecue. It is an opportunity to learn the science behind the food, and a rare chance to experience a short course on meat processing and fabrication. Participants don hairnets and lab coats and enter the classrooms and cooler rooms of the Rosenthal Center to examine carcasses and learn about the anatomy and grading of beef, as well as information on pork and poultry. There are speakers and hands on opportunities to learn about seasoning choices. Special guests include scientists, pitmasters, pit builders, and more.

Barbecue camps are open to Foodways Texas members only.
