If you’re always the one who volunteers to grill the meat—or you’re just looking for a different activity to break out of your routine—then check out these barbecue courses in Guadalajara.
There are several places in the city where you can learn everything from how to light the charcoal to techniques for cooking different cuts of meat, smoking, or preparing full meals over the fire.
The best part is that, in most cases, these are experiences rather than just classes—combining learning, good food, and socializing around the grill with a love for different cuts of meat.
