RUN OF SHOW
5:00 PM — Doors Open & Cocktail Hour
Arrive, settle in, and kick things off with Gordon Castle Gin cocktails crafted by master mixologist and YETI community guide Davin Topel. Cocktails are designed to pair with the sausages being served throughout the evening. Cold beer courtesy of Oak Cliff Brewery.
5:00–6:00 PM — Welcome & Sausage Sensei Introduction
Bill Dumas takes the floor. He'll walk guests through his philosophy on sausage craft — structure, temperature control, bind, and why technique drives the final result. Think of this as your crash course before the fire gets lit.
6:00–7:00 PM — Sausage Courses (Served in Progression)
Three signature sausages, each served with appropriate garnish and accoutrement, plated as individual courses:
- Gordon Castle Gin Collaboration Sausage
A one-of-a-kind creation built around the evening's spirit partner - Cheese Enchilada con Carne Sausage
Inspired by Oak Cliff favorite El Ranchito - Peach Cobbler Sausage
A crowd-favorite from Bill's creative repertoire
Bill will narrate each sausage as it's served — flavor profile, inspiration, and the technique behind it.
7:00–7:30 PM — Live Demo on Nomad Grill
Watch Bill demonstrate proper sausage cooking technique on the NOMAD Grill — managing coal bed, airflow, casing behavior, and rendering fat without loss. He'll break down what to watch for and why thermometers only tell part of the story.
7:30–8:45 PM — Hands-On: Make Your Own Sausage (Rooftop)
Guests move to the rooftop patio. Under Bill's direct guidance, everyone will grind, bind, case, and link their own Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage from start to finish — then cook it on a NOMAD Grill. Your sausage goes home with you.
8:45–9:00 PM — Wrap-Up & Send-Off
Closing remarks from Bill. Grab your sausage, grab a last drink, and head home with new skills and a full stomach.
Every guest leaves with:
- Their own handmade Jalapeño Cheddar sausage to take home
- Hands-on experience on a NOMAD Grill
- Direct time with one of the most recognized sausage makers in the country
