Texas Culinary Schools: Barbecue with the Best


	Texas Culinary Schools: Barbecue with the Best by BJ Fairfax CulinaryEd Columnist May 14, 2007 If you've ever had a taste of true Texas barbecue, you might know where the phrase "Don't mess with Texas" was coined. From baked beans and slow-cooked meat to coleslaw and cornbread, culinary schools in Texas are taking the art of barbecue to a whole new level. Texas Culinary Schools Sizzle For culinary students looking for lessons in down-home American cooking, Texas culinary schools have a lot to offer by putting a contemporary edge on such classic cuisine. As a potential chef, it's likely you want to learn to make fresh, tasty dishes that will appeal to the widest array of diners. If this is the case, take a lesson from Texas culinary programs, and learn to create a barbecue menu that will make mouths water. Texas culinary programs tend to teach students every aspect of the barbecue experience, from sauce and slaw to meat and bread, not to mention proper grilling techniques and gear. Culinary Students Turned Lone Star Grill Masters Culinary schools in Texas should show students how to work with every type of barbecue meat available, from beef and chicken to pork and turkey, as well as game meats like elk and ostrich in some cases. In addition, students should graduate with a variety of sauce recipes under their belt, as well as the ability to make coleslaw out of nearly any fruit or vegetable available. Upon graduation from Texas culinary programs, chefs should be able to take their barbecue basics and put their own individual stamp on each dish, possibly even crafting a barbecue sauce that is so good it must be bottled and shipped across the country.
