And, on a not too cool summer’s day, ATX food bloggers and friends gathered in this famous studio for an afternoon of foodie companionship – all in the name of Texas beef.

Fortified with glasses of signature Sangria we began the class with our culinary hosts, Tiffany Collins Blackmon,TBC Culinary Director and Jerry McPherson,TBC Events & Logistics Coordinator.

While Tiffany gave us tips on how to construct the perfect recipe, Jerry gave insight for cooking with fire on the grill.
