NU presenting summer class on preparing the perfect BBQ

Just in time for Father's Day, Niagara University is accepting registrations for an innovative, hands-on continuing education course that will teach participants how to cook competition-quality barbecue ribs from start to finish.

The course, which will take place Saturday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be instructed by Robert Giordano and Roy "Honcho" Gregory of the Smokin' Eagles International BBQ Festival. The celebrated duo will share their secrets on preparing the perfect rack of ribs right down to the smoking, including recipe selection, seasoning options, cooking techniques and food safety tips.

Class participants will have the opportunity to sample their results at the conclusion of the demonstration.

The cost to attend the "Hands-On Smokin' BBQ" course is $35 per person.
