Knives Out - The Art of Butchering

The cornerstone of Butchery is proper tools, especially quality sharp knives. There is nothing more frustrating than grabbing a knife to slice a tomato, dice an onion, or carve a Prime Rib Roast and finding that it's duller than a bad dad joke! Knowing how to care for knives to keep them sharp and ready to go is one way to keep cooking fun and enjoyable.  For Knives Out - The Art of Butchering, we will start by demonstrating the proper care and sharpening of knives on our favorite whetstone, the Shapton Pro 1,000 grit Splash & Go Stone - it's the perfect stone for sharpening and refining the blade as well as repairing a dull or chipped edge.

With our sharp knives out, we'll dive right in to some of the cornerstone cuts of any butcher. During this interactive class, Butchers Rusty & Angel will help you break down a whole chicken, teach the art of cutting various pork and beef steaks, and demonstrate the ends & outs of trimming and trussing roasts. This class is hands on, as each attendee is given a new boning knife and will be asked to participate in butchering various cuts of meat.

Get tips & tricks for cooking various cuts at home - proper temperatures and various cooking methods, including the Big Green Egg and on Lodge Cast Iron.

This class runs from 10:00AM - 12:30PM, afterwards class attendees enjoy a lunch of grilled various cuts  from the class, Southern vegetables and a tasting of beverages made by our neighbors, The Lost Druid Brewery.

Each participant will take home their own boning knife and a freshly cut whole chicken and some steak!

Two ticket options:

$160/ Person for the class 

$220/ Person for the class and a Shapton Pro 1,000 grit Whetstone. 

Classes are held at The Lost Druid Brewery.
