Steven Raichlen is synonymous with barbecue. The James Beard Award-winning author of an impressive array of New York Times bestselling cookbooks, a Barbecue Hall of Famer, and a PBS star, he has shaped America’s obsession with live-fire cooking for decades.It started in 1998, when Workman published Raichlen’s groundbreaking THE BARBECUE! BIBLE, which fired a grilling revolution around the world, transforming the arts of smoking and grilling to the cult status it enjoys today. When this 500-recipe homage to global live-fire cooking was first published, American grilling was limited to simple summer weekend cookouts with little technique or creative thought. And now, it’s hard to believe that there was ever a time when grilling and barbecue weren’t as American as apple pie.25 years later; 1 million copies in print; and countless accolades, including the Julia Child Cookbook Award, The Barbecue! Bible is a generational book, and Steven Raichlen is one of the most influential and celebrated barbecue pioneers of our time. BBQ RADIO NETWORK is celebrating with Steven on this show and giving away a dozen autographed copies of the latest edition of what is truly THE BARBECUE BIBLE! 4x World Champion Todd Johns co-hosts with 2x World Champion and show host Andy Groneman will discuss the impact of Steven's contribution to the BBQ world.www.bbqradionetwork.com www.holsteinmfg.com
