Mastering ribs at Buster Rhino’s with chef Darryl Koster

Koster teaches the art  of rib making as a way of showing students basic barbecue techniques they can apply to any meat. He’s taught about 300 people over the years and says some of them have come back, asking him  to test their ribs to see if they’ve done it right. $75.
