How to Host an Epic Cookout
Join your fellow Shell retirees for a fun, hands-on cooking experience celebrating one of Texas’ greatest traditions—barbecue!
Working in small groups, we’ll learn tips and techniques for creating a memorable BBQ feast, including ways to bring outdoor grilling flavors indoors when Texas weather doesn’t cooperate. From flavorful sides to finger-licking ribs and a sweet finish, we’ll prepare—and then enjoy—a delicious meal together.
On the Menu
- Sweet & Spicy Coleslaw
- Grilled Corn on the Cob with Smoked Tomato Butter
- The Best BBQ Beans
- Baby Back Ribs with Espresso BBQ Sauce
- Cherry Crumble Pie
Beer or wine will be served with the meal for guests 21 and over.
Come hungry and ready to cook, learn, laugh, and enjoy some great Texas BBQ with fellow Shell alumni!
