Myron Mixon Memories Class

[clb239]

Last Weekend - January 5-8 I made the trip to Unadilla, Ga. to attend Myron Mixon's Memories Class. In this class you cook whole hog, shoulders, ribs, chicken and sausage on brick pits the way his dad taught him how to cook. Myron and the rest of the Jack;s Old South Black Shirts put on an excellent program.

The amount of food cooked was insane - 160lb whole hog, 20 whole shoulders / hams, 20+ racks of full spares, 26+ chicken halves, 2 whole turkeys, 25+ pounds of fresh made sausage, 22 quarts of Brunswick Stew and collard greens.

Now that looks like fun!

What did they do with all that meat?

[HawkerXP]

"Memories Class". What was the memory? Last time you'll see your feet? LOL!

@HawkerXP

Memories refers to the fact that we were cooking using old school methods I assume.

Everyone took meat home plus there is a big meal on Sunday where Myron has family and some other locals attend. I imagine they took some meat home as well. I got two big bags of pulled pork and some ribs. Wish I had gotten some of the sausages to bring home.

That looks like it must have been a great time. I’ve always thought that cooking over something like that.would be very challenging.

[clb239]

It's definitely labor intensive having to shovel the coals regularly to keep the pits hot. About as far from set it and forget it as you can get...

[RonB]

That looks like a ton o' fun.

[captainlee]

That would be a blast to attend.

Spill the beans. Is Myron's cooking as good as he claims?

[clb239]

All of the food we ate was excellent. Most of the food is cooked by the students with guidance and assistance from Myron and his crew. Since he is known for his competition meats I cannot speak for what that tastes like, that is a different class where you learn to cook and sample his competition recipes.

I will say his brother coked some of the best pork chops I have ever had for lunch on Saturday.

Holy smokes, literally!! What a great time you must have had.
