This self taught cook started his desire for cooking after getting married and purchasing his first Charcoal BBQ. Since then, he started making his own burgers, rubs, marinades, seasonings, and learning techniques from books by famous chefs like Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsey, Aaron Franklin, and Myron Mixon. Their recipes he twisted into his own rendition and grew from there. While still learning, he continues to pursue his culinary ideas and trying them on a plate either from the grill, open fire, oven or stove. He has made dishes that rival some restaurants and he also learned from his wife, mother and mother-in-law in the kitchen and his father and father-in-law on the grill. You too, can learn from him and his book. Use these recipes to please your diners, or use them as an inspiration for your own food creations, and always remember; Enjoy every moment!
