This week is really hectic for Bucky McOinkum’s Barbecue.  We started off the week with a barbecue class at Cooks’ Wares in Springboro, OH.  The class was a big success; it was full in less than a week after registration opened up for it.  We had a full house, with some on a waiting list, too.  Props to my peeps (Maria and the staff) at Cooks’ Wares for all their help (like my ‘urban’ talk there… I’m so with it… Not!)  We did a full competition menu of chicken, ribs, pork and brisket, with cole slaw, tomato pie and doughnut bread pudding added.  The sauce for the bread pudding included some Maker’s Mark whisky… Man oh man, was it good stuff!

Keep in mind, if you’re local, that classes will only be advertised online from now on at Cooks’ Wares.

Before I forget about it, I’ll be posting a Carnival of Food Photography tomorrow (a day late, but I needed to get word out about the competition (see below)).

The photos today are from prepping for the kick off of the Dayton Vineyard’s Wild At Heart men’s ministry for autumn.
