Get ready to fire up those grills, folks! I had a fantastic chat with Stan Hays, the CEO of Operation Barbecue Relief, and let me tell you, this guy and his crew are doing some incredible work in the midst of natural disasters. Since 2011, OBR has been rolling into affected communities with their mobile kitchens, serving up hearty BBQ meals to those who need it most. We talked about the immense impact they’ve had, serving millions of meals and providing comfort to people during their toughest times. It’s more than just food; it’s about bringing people together and healing through the power of BBQ.
But it’s not all doom and gloom! We also dove into an exciting event happening this weekend at the Ilani Casino in Ridgefield, Washington, just in time for Father's Day. Stan is hosting BBQ classes that sound like an absolute blast—think hands-on cooking, tips on starting your own BBQ business, and of course, the chance to get your hands dirty while whipping up some mouthwatering dishes. We’re talking about everything from pork spare ribs to beef sliders, and trust me, you’ll want to be there to see (and taste) all the action.
As we wrapped up our chat, I felt a sense of excitement not just for the food but for the community spirit that BBQ brings out. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just curious about the BBQ world, this weekend’s event is the perfect chance to learn and connect with others who share your passion. So grab your utensils, put on your apron, and let’s make some BBQ magic happen together!
