Fallbrook High School FFA annual barbecue

Kate Calhoun - Writer Intern

The best place to grab a plate to eat before enjoying Fallbrook's Friday Night Lights can be found within Fallbrook High School's agriculture department, located near the east end zone of the football stadium.

Before every home football game, Fallbrook National FFA Organization puts on a barbecue, featuring tri-tip, baked beans, sweet rolls and salad, all for only $10.

The barbecue is student-run and led by the teachers in the agriculture department who are eager to pass on their appreciation for food and forming relationships with the community.

"We love having the interaction with the community as well as receiving the community's support for the program. It's great being able to work with the students outside the classroom while teaching them real-world skills," Doug Sehnert, one of the agriculture teachers at Fallbrook High, said.

The meat served is from the bottom sirloin of the steer, and they prepare it by seasoning the meat the night before and smoking it for about two hours the next day, so that it is very fresh and flavorful upon serving.

Anyone looking for a quality meal before the football game make sure to stop by the FFA barbecue between 5:30-7 p.m. before each home football game to support the program.
