On the grill, we grill Chicken, Shrimp, and Andouille, going over techniques and tips and tricks: He’ll also show us how to grill onions, peppers, celery, corn on the cob, and more, so that we have a nice collection of grilled meats and vegetables for our dish!
• two-zone temperature ranges,
• when to use the lid,
• how to grill meat as compared to vegetables,

Prepared casserole recipe: “Jambalaya Pasta”. Combine the grilling part of the class with the final dish, so it all comes together in one coherent concept. Chef Matt will show us how to make the pasta sauce, cook the pasta, and even teach tricks like why you should save a little pasta water, and how to toast spices for maximum flavor.
The Grilled Jambalaya Pasta is then assembled, and Chef Matt will go over more tailgating tips, like how to hold the food both cold before the tailgate, and hot in chaffers (Sterno trays) during the tailgate, to make sure all the food is delicious, and safe for everyone to enjoy!
