Great class on pan de campo and carne guisada at Pro Pit on Jackson and Sprague in Edinburg this morning. Next weekend he’s having a class on chicken, pork ribs, and brisket and the following two weeks on cabrito and open fire. Balde has years of experience as a winning competitive cook and I highly recommend all his classes. I’ve taken a few myself and have learned so so much! Get it on these classes!! Every learning opportunity taken is a way to perfect your craft!
