While barbecue is a beloved late-night staple for many, in Yueyang, it has evolved into a booming local industry. To keep up with the demand for high-quality grills and tasty skewers, the city took a bold step in 2025 by launching China's very first "barbecue academy."
Things really heated up in March this year when the academy officially began recruiting students. After months of honing their skills and mastering the art of the flame, the first group of trainees has recently completed their graduation assessments. 🎓🔥
