I would like to publicly congratulate Donny Teel and his wife Cindy, and their daughter Whitney of Buffalo’s BBQ for their recent Reserve Grand Champion Win at the American Royal, simply put, The Super Bowl of BBQ Contests!

I recently wrote an article on BBQ cooking schools and what I look for in a class. In that article I went over the criteria that I felt was important when choosing a class and what I felt was key points to consider. Here again are my thoughts on the subject.

First, I wanted to learn from someone who has won the awards that we all wish to win ourselves. Second, this individual(s) also needed to still be competing on the circuit. In my opinion this was the most important choice because the class would be centered on what is going on NOW and not what used to be the case when they competed on the circuit.

Third, I wanted to have the opportunity to go and not be in an overcrowded class getting lost in the numbers. I wanted to have the ability to watch up close, take notes and ask those questions I’ve had for years but just haven’t found the individual(s) who could answer them. In order to accomplish this, the class would be pricey; I knew this and so prepared to pay the price.

In light of Buffalo’s BBQ most recent win in BBQ, I wanted to again let everyone know that Donny is offering one of his schools were you can see up close how he selects the meats, trim and season as well as smoking the meats on the smoker. If you have Ever thought of attending a BBQ cooking class, I would highly recommend Buffalo’s BBQ School!

If you have a desire to improve your competition cooking or just want to learn the difference between good Barbeque and the sublime, I would encourage you to contact Donny Teel at: Phone: 918-633-0673 and visit http://www.tbazone.com/alley/  for the next cooking class being held on 10/17/2008 in Sperry, OK .

I hope you take this opportunity to learn from a championship cooking family! Let Donny know the Bossman sent you!
