Real Urban Barbecue Extends Inaugural Grilling Series

Only one class remains in Real Urban Barbecue Highland Park’s (610 Central Ave) inaugural Kicking Ash Summer Grilling Series! Due to the overwhelming response to the hands on grilling classes, held in Highland Park’s Port Clinton Square, Real Urban Barbecue has added additional classes to the line up. Kicking Ash grilling courses are taught by renowned chefs including Real Urban Barbecue owner-chef Jeff Shapiro and Dean Eliacostas, former Executive Chef of Carmichael’s Steak House.

Real Urban Barbecue’s Kicking Ash Summer Grilling Series teaches guests the art of preparing, grilling and serving a variety of products using techniques that they can implement at home all summer long. Each class will include hands on lessons in the art of smoking and grilling and will offer opportunities for guests to ask questions and expand their knowledge in and out of the kitchen.

Each Kicking Ash participant will be provided their own grill, knife, cutting board and seasonings to prepare a variety of dishes featuring a variety of wood fired pizzas, smoked sausages, variations of marinated flank steak sandwiches, s’more cones, desserts and more! Participants will be sent home with a Real Urban Barbecue care package and recipe cards for the items they prepared so they can recreate their masterpiece at home!

Kicking Ash classes are geared towards beginners and expert grillers alike. Let Real Urban Barbecue teach you new skills and recipes to last a lifetime!
