Beyond the Usual Cuts: Cheeks, Beef Hammer, and Bone Marrow

BBQ Expo ARENA
April 12
from 10:30 to 11:30

Pitmassive will reveal the secrets to enhancing lesser-known cuts in American BBQ, transforming them into high-impact gastronomic dishes. Through practical examples, the session will explore: selecting and understanding “second-choice” cuts, preparation techniques to enhance structure and flavor, managing long cooking times to achieve tenderness and aromatic depth, and highlighting bone marrow as a powerful element of intensity in the dish.

Discover how beef cheeks, beef hammer, and collagen-rich cuts can deliver a tasting experience comparable to the great BBQ classics — when treated with method and precision.

Signature dishes that are sustainable and of high gastronomic value.

Pitmaster: Andrea Critelli
