The BBQ Report

Here’s an interesting article about the growing popularity of the culinary travel industry, and visiting Steven Raichlen’s Barbecue University in particular. This new vacation trend has tourists visiting some countries just to experience the cuisine. You can either eat your way through a new country, or get a piece of the action — by attending cooking classes.

Bring your checkbook though, The Greenbrier’s Barbecue University for example costs $2,300 for singles, and $3,100 for couples. For three half-day sessions. Yes really. I guess lunch is included, but you have to cook it yourself.
