You Are Going To Be What You

When I Want To Kick It Up, I Like To Add Hardwood Chips Or Chunks To The Grill; It Adds Bold Smoky Flavors. The Most Common Woods Are Hickory And Mesquite, But You Can Find Alder, Apple, Cherry And, My Personal Favorite, Pecan.

Start With A Clean Grill. Keep It Clean By Brushing With A Wire Brush After Preheating, And Again After Cooking. Make Sure To Oil Your Grates And Your Food Before Putting It On The Grill To Keep It From Sticking.

The World Has Changed, And It's Almost Been 11 Years. I Have 975 Employees. I Have Six Restaurants. We Haven't Opened Any New Ones In Almost Three Years.

When I Cook With My Son, I Might Chop Vegetables And Have Fun With Different Shapes. Cooking Is A Way To Teach Kids About Other Things, Like Reading Or Math With All Of The Weights And Measures. There Are So Many Things That Are Part Of Cooking That Are Also Very Educational.

My Philosophy From Day One Is That I Can Sleep Better At Night If I Can Improve An Individual's Knowledge About Food And Wine, And Do It On A Daily Basis.
