Hey I would have baught at that show ... Sounds like a lot of funCindycooks said:I did a grilling show this summer with salads. It was totally hands-on. I used the 3 rubs on 6 boneless chicken breasts (2 each) and had them on the grill as guests were arriving. This showed off the grilling tools. I let the guests help prep and chop salad ingredients. Lettuce went in the Big SA Bowl. The rest of the ingredients in the Chillzane rectangular server. Salad dressing in the Measure Mix & Pour (Good Seasons Italian - something easy). Sliced the chicken using the utility knife and had it on 3 SA Medium Squares.
Guests just assembled their salad as they wanted. This turned out to be a $1200 show. This would be a great way now to show off the new knives in Sept and get October bookings!
Attached is the Italian Grilled Pizza recipe - I highly recommend that too! It's yum!

Maybe you can make a joke at the beginning of the show something like I may be a Martha Stewert in the Kitchen but I'm not with the grill.
I will ask my hubby what the name of the website is that he gets all his bbq tips from.
To overcome nerves before a grilling show, practice your presentation multiple times, familiarize yourself with the recipes and equipment, and visualize a successful event. Additionally, consider inviting a friend or family member to be your audience during practice to build confidence.
Engage your audience by asking questions, encouraging participation, and sharing personal stories related to grilling. You can also offer samples of the food you prepare, which creates a more interactive experience and keeps your audience interested.
For beginners, focus on basic techniques such as direct grilling, indirect grilling, and using a meat thermometer. Teach them about marinating, seasoning, and the importance of preheating the grill. Simple recipes that highlight these techniques can also be very effective.
To make your grilling show more successful, plan your menu carefully, use high-quality ingredients, and ensure that your equipment is in good working order. Promote your show in advance, and consider offering incentives for attendees to invite friends or make purchases during the event.
If something goes wrong during the show, stay calm and composed. Acknowledge the issue with humor if appropriate, and quickly pivot to a backup plan or alternative solution. Your ability to handle unexpected situations gracefully can impress your audience and enhance their experience.
