To Grill or Not to Grill

To start with Chef Craiger is very informative and professional. As far as advertising goes please stay away from groupon i would hate to see groupon ruin such a great image. I give this four stars for several reasons. One typically being that groupon had influenced it because of the difficulty to sign up for a class. Second the meat primer class was very novice to me. I think many people take this course for either two reasons one being they are not confidant around grills or reason two they got a groupon for this class as a gift. There was a technique i found interesting and will pursue it for my next plan to grill. As far as recipes go they were unique but nothing extraordinary that you couldn’t find online. Although there was a very delicious entrée made towards the end that was very simple but divine i found no use to write them down like some people. The notion made in the previous review stated you could bring your own adult beverage, that was true he gives you about a 15 min break around 7:30 for our class in which only gives you enough time to goto that circle k if you were not informed before reading reviews. Upon returning from break i notice there had been a few MIA’S from class. Kinda unfortunate for them spending a fare amount of money for one night and not so good for chef craiger for this might imply lack of interest in his courses meaning he looses the crowd… All around chef has lots to teach for thou’s who are just being introduce the grilling world and for thous who just like a good reminder now again of what we have forgotten.
P. S. Prepare to stand for more than 2 hours so bring good shoes…

It may only be available through Groupon, but Chef Craiger runs a great grilling class. At about $ 40/​person (with Groupon deal), it’s not a bad price for a 3-​hour class. Don’t come too hungry though — he grills up some good food for you, but not enough to make a meal (he has to make money somehow, right).
What’s great is that everyone knows a little bit about grilling, and while you could get tips online, it’s much easier to ask someone who’s been in the catering business for 30 years and can actually call themselves a grill-​master.
Chef Craiger is totally open to questions throughout the session and he has great advice. It’s not preachy or authoritative, but really helpful.
One tip: he lets you bring your own «adult beverages» and consume them during class, so save yourself from having to run out to Circle K, and bring your own!
Enjoy!
