Get ready to roll up your sleeves, dig into bold flavor, and celebrate the art of seasoning at Grovestone’s “Rub It Real Good” cooking demonstration!
This class is all about smoky, saucy, soul-satisfying comfort food taken to the next level with Grovestone’s signature oils, rubs, and seasonings. You’ll learn how to bring backyard-style ribs, slaws, and sides into the gourmet world, all while tasting each dish as it's prepared live.
Whether you're in it for the espresso barbecue glaze, the tangy cranberry-apple slaw, or that golden peach cobbler finale, this night’s got all the hits.
Sit back, sip, and enjoy as we bring each dish to life in front of you, sharing techniques, ingredients, and stories along the way.
Great for date night or girls night out! Just sit back, eat, drink and socialize while we do all the work!
