May 2026 BBQ Pitmasters Meeting

Backyard BBQ Classics: Fire, Flavor and Balance

Chef: Travis Duffy

Join Travis Duffy of Last Call Heroes BBQ for a live class focused on the classic barbecue favorites people love most and the techniques that make them worth eating. This is not about overcomplicating the cook. It is about learning how to get better results from the foods you already want to make.

Throughout the evening, Travis will break down how to build flavor with fire, seasoning, smoke, sauce, and texture so your barbecue hits the way it should. Balanced ribs. Chicken with real contrast and character. Baked beans with depth instead of pure sweetness. Potato salad that tastes like the version people grew up loving, only better.

The menu features Last Call Fire-Finished BBQ Ribs, Backyard BBQ Chicken Thighs, Whiskey-Kissed Baked Beans, and Grandma’s Midwest Potato Salad.

If you want practical BBQ knowledge, better flavor instincts, and a plate of food that feels classic in all the right ways, this class is for you.
