For almost 20 years Steven Raichlen has been manning the barbecue on PBS and Book Stores around the world. Yesterday he released a new cook book The Best Ribs Ever. One Hundred recipes for every type of ribs you can think of. When people ask me who I look up too in the barbecue world I always answer Steven Raichlen. This guy has not only mastered how to cook barbecue American style, but he spent a big pat of his life traveling around the world learning how they do it everywhere. Books like Barbecue Planet showed me how to grill it up in 60 countries. He showed me that its not just about Kansas City BBQ or Cali BBQ its about cooking over hot coals or a hot flame in any situation to feed the people around you.
Steven has won multiple awards for being an author, journalist, cooking teacher and even for his hit PBS Show Primal Grill. His best selling book Barbecue Bible has sold over 4 million copies world wide. Right now he's got 29 books in print in 12 languages including French, Russian, Spanish and Japanese. He's won 5 James Beard Awards, not even the some of the top chef of the world have won one.
You don't see him ridding around on Food Network in large yellow trucks dieing his hair or traveling around the country trying to beat down your local best cook. What you do see is a person who loves barbecue, teaching and having a good time. Most people who are not in the barbecue world have never heard of him but he's famous for creating some of the best barbecue in the world.
If your looking to learn how to make award winning recipes pick up a Steven Raichlen book at the local book store or at Amazon.com . Look him up on Google and start your education. He teaches how to grill meats, vegatable, how to grill on open fire, in a pit, on a grill, how to grill at home or at the big game. Steven Raichlen is the Man of the Grill.
