Dr. B's BBQ Institute
2012-2021
As featured in the National BBQ News in May 2017, Big Head Ed's real job and his BBQ passions intersect in a full week of basic BBQ teaching and learning at Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School in Lexington MA.
Students in the Culinary Arts program spend a week learning techniques from the Pit Master himself! Dr B retired in June of 2021 from Minuteman. He continues to do events and small group Basic BBQ Workshops from his Vermont BBQ Pit
