Join Elyse Chatterton, one of Canada’s most recognizable butchery educators, for an in-depth Pork Masterclass at You Need a BBQ. Trained in the UK and known across Alberta for her clear, approachable teaching style, Elyse has built a strong reputation through live demos, cooking classes, and media appearances that have helped demystify whole animal butchery for home cooks and chefs alike.
This class is your chance to work directly with Elyse as she walks you through pork like you’ve never experienced it before from breaking down primal cuts to cooking techniques that maximize flavor and minimize waste. Whether you’re a backyard BBQ fan, a food professional, or someone just curious about butchery, this is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the best.
What You’ll Learn:
- Step-by-step pork butchery led by Elyse Chatterton
- How to identify and work with key pork cuts
- Tips on trimming, prep, and cooking for BBQ, roasting, and more
- Practical advice, expert instruction, and plenty of Q&A time
And that’s not all…
As Elyse breaks down the hog, the You Need a BBQ team will be firing up the smokers and grills to prepare each cut in real time. You’ll get to taste your way through the entire animal from amazing belly and smoky ribs to juicy chops and more. It’s a full butchery-to-BBQ experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Come hungry, leave inspired.
