Steven Raichlen is a legend in the world of meat and all things BBQ. I'll wager there isn't anyone reading this right now who hasn't heard of him. Furthermore, I'll wager that many of you have one of his many BBQ books on your shelf right now. He's a best selling author of incredible cook books such as 'Project Smoke', 'The Barbecue Bible', and most recently, 'How to Grill Vegetables'. A foodie obsessed with smoking food and cooking outdoors, Steven is a BBQ guru whose delicious recipes have inspired millions around the world, including hundreds of thousands of BBQ pilgrims who've attended Barbecue University, now at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs. There, the happy few at each year's event learn how to smoke brisket, pork belly and a prime rib roast, and of course, how to grill the perfect steak. And of course, let's not forget all the TV shows. He's been the host and star of 3 seasons of public television's 'Project Smoke', and before that, 4 seasons of PBS' 'BBQ University'. Being fluent in French, he's also hosted his own cooking show in Quebec. Did I mention that he also has 5 James Beard Awards? Yes, five!
