Celebrating 10 Years of Fire and Fun:

DATES ANNOUNCED FOR BARBECUE UNIVERSITY® 2010

Space is Limited…Sign Up Now!

The embers have barely cooled in the wake of the whirlwind of food, fire, and smoke that was Barbecue University® 2009. We’re pleased to announce the dates for BBQ U 2010 at the beautiful Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado: June 10 – 13 and June 13 – 16.

Founded by Steven Raichlen in 2000, Barbecue University® attracts a truly international clientele. (Last year alone, we welcomed grilling enthusiasts from Australia, Ireland, and Dubai, not to mention from across the U.S.) Many of our students return year after year, confident they can count on sizzling new recipes, innovative new grilling techniques, and the latest grills and smokers—not to mention the opportunity to meet great people with a shared passion for grilling.

Did we mention the spectacular setting? The “Grand Dame of the Rockies,” The Broadmoor resort, is the longest-running consecutive winner of both the AAA Five-Diamond and the Mobil/Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards. (And that was before they built the stunning new “cottages”—the term doesn’t begin do justice to these elegant private accommodations. Be sure to inquire about them when you register for BBQ U.)

As many of our students know, Barbecue University® makes a terrific gift for a holiday, anniversary, or birthday. The 2010 sessions take place just before Father’s Day—a terrific opportunity for father-son (or father-daughter, mother-son bonding, or even retreats for corporate team-building.

Each session of Barbecue University® is limited to 55 students. Space goes quickly, so sign up today. For more information, please contact The Broadmoor at 800-634-7711, or email Melanie Shanks: mshanks@broadmoor.com. We look forward to seeing you in June.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT BBQ U

•A welcome dinner where you can meet Steven and your fellow students.

• Daily transportation to and from Cheyenne Mountain Lodge, our stunning“campus” with its indoor and outdoor “classroom,” manorial fireplace, sweeping views, and world-class collection of grills and smokers.

• A deluxe leather notebook (another example of The Broadmoor’s attention to detail) with the two dozen recipes Steven will teach you during the course—specialties ranging from Brazilian beef ribs to spice-crusted pork shoulders to whole pit-roasted salmon. You’ll learn how to grill appetizers, salads, pizzas, vegetables, and, yes, even desserts.

• A chance for hands-on learning with Steven at our demonstration table and at the grill (not to mention a great opportunity to bond with your fellow grilling team members and to ‘smoke’ your competition).

• A clear explanation of the six methods of live fire cooking, the nine types of grills, and how to smoke, spit-roast, and grill all the major food groups. A crash course on rubs, marinades, brines, spice pastes, homemade barbecue sauces, and more—in short everything you need to become a master griller.

• A deluxe Continental breakfast each morning, and a lavish lunch based on the day’s class and prepared by the Broadmoor culinary staff. (Beer and wine included.)

• Afternoons and evenings off to golf on one of The Broadmoor’s three championship courses, play tennis, go fly fishing or hiking, book spa time, shop—The Broadmoor has 25 retail stores and boutiques—or explore the many attractions of Colorado Springs. Dine at one of the Broadmoor’s 18 restaurants and lounges, including the award-winning Adam Tihany-designed “Summit,” and cap the evening with a drink at the infamous “Golden Bee,” an authentic English Pub that was shipped from England and rebuilt, board by board, on The Broadmoor property. (You’ll learn how it got its notoriety by the end of your stay.)

• And, yes, there’s a final exam (we’re not kidding)—designed to remind you about all the cool things you learned at BBQ U.

Again, Barbecue University® sells out fast, so sign up today.
