What dedication!! These boys were here at 5:45 a.m. this morning to start smoking a pork butt on Dagan's smoker for Culinary Arts. Then, bless their hearts, they are coming back after football practice on a Friday no less to eat. I am learning a lot from them about this new cooking technique. Thank you Dagan, Zayden, Dillon !
