Show notes

REPEAT DUE TO ANDY TEACHING AMERICAN BBQ IN SOUTH KOREA
"Celebrity Chef" Aaron Franklin was named Best Chef: Southwest by the James Beard Foundation in 2015. After countless hours spent working the pit, he has earned a reputation as one of the top celebrity chefs in the BBQ. It all began in 2009 when he and his wife Stacy opened up the first location of Franklin Barbecue, a food trailer located just off the interstate in Austin. In just 2 years, they would move to a real brick and mortar location and the restaurant earned a feature on Anthony Bourdain’s TV travel series No Reservations in 2012. Very soon Franklin BBQ garnered several mentions from reputable sources as the best BBQ in America.

In April of 2015, Franklin published his first cookbook titled Franklin Barbecue: A Meat Manifesto. The cookbook has been dubbed a definitive resource for the backyard pitmaster, providing readers with a top-to-bottom education on cooking meat and brisket. Available May 9, Aaron's new book "Smoke" will be available everywhere, including Amazon (where it can be pre-ordered).

THE BBQ! BIBLE 25th Anniversary with STEVEN RAICHLEN on BBQ RADIO NETWORK Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

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.
