From Workplace to Smokehouse: A Hands-On BBQ Experience
Looking to bring their team together in a meaningful and engaging way, Waste Connections booked a semi-private corporate BBQ class — but this wasn’t your average “watch and learn” cooking demo.
This was the real deal.
The team rolled up their sleeves for a full pig butchering and BBQ masterclass, learning how to:
- Break down a whole pig from nose to tail
- Prepare and cook competition-style ribs
- Reverse sear tenderloin like a pro
- Smoke pork belly to perfection
- And (of course) sample their handiwork every step of the way
Between the carving knives, seasoning rubs, laughter, and a few friendly bragging rights, this wasn’t just a cooking class — it was collaboration, problem solving, and team bonding disguised as fun.
The Secret Ingredient? The Swag.
To make the event even more impactful, every participant walked away with a custom-branded acacia wood cutting board engraved with their company logo.
Why? Because swag isn’t just “stuff” it’s a memory anchor.
Long after the smoke clears, that cutting board:
- Becomes part of their home kitchen
- Sparks conversations about the experience
- Reinforces company pride
- Reminds them of what they accomplished as a team
That’s the power of pairing experiential events with thoughtful merch it transforms a fun afternoon into a story people will tell for years.
