It started in 1998, when Workman published Steven 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.www.bbqradionetwork.com www.holsteinmfg.com

The practice of smoking is one of the world's oldest food preservation methods, but which techniques are catching fire today, while other processes risk being extinguished? We hear from producers bringing diverse barbecue and smoking techniques to new audiences, as well as those keeping traditional processes alive. Leyla Kazim visits Cue Point to hear from Mursal Saiq and Joshua Moroney about their unique ‘British Afghan Fusion BBQ' that brings an inclusive style of smoking to a wider audience while drawing on diverse culinary heritages. Melissa Thompson, writer, cook and author of Motherland, discusses the central role smoke plays in Jamaican cuisine, and why food and history in the Caribbean are so intertwined. Author of the Barbecue Bible and Project Smoke, Steven Raichlen, traces the history of smoking from its Palaeolithic origins to present day, and argues that cooking with fire was one of the greatest technological advances in the history of humankind. Helen Graves, editor of Pit Magazine and author of Live Fire, explains why she has made it her mission to champion the broad range of diversity in open fire cooking, and the reasons she tends not to follow the trend of US-style barbecue. Producer Robbie Armstrong heads to Fèis Ìle, Islay's annual whisky and music festival, to hear about the renaissance of peated whiskies with Ardbeg's visitor centre manager Jackie Thompson. He speaks to Arbroath smokie producer Iain R. Spink about reviving ancient methods on the verge of being snuffed out. Christian Stevenson, better known as DJ BBQ, tracks the popularity of US grilling and smoking in the UK. Leyla and Robbie sit down to taste some smoky drinks, while pondering the future of traditional methods, and how to balance the world's love for peated whiskies with peatland restoration. Leyla discovers that while some processes born out of necessity may be less popular today, it's clear the practice of smoking is showing no signs of dissipating. Presented by Leyla Kazim. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.
Many hold strong opinions about what barbecue flavor they prefer. Yes barbecue, not grilling. American barbecue hails from four different regions — Memphis, Texas, Carolina and Kansas City — each with their own distinctive style. Callie Crossley, host of Under the Radar, hails from Memphis where, as far as she is concerned, Memphis is the distinctive style. "For me, it's the layering of flavors. You might start with a rub, which could be as simple as salt and pepper as is done in Texas, or a little bit more complex with paprika and chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, which is done in your hometown of Memphis," said Steven Raichlen, author of "The Barbecue Bible." "A second layer of flavor might be a mop sauce or might be a spray with with vinegar or wine," he said. "Third layer of flavor might be that barbecue sauce that you brush on right at the end of cooking and then caramelize directly over high heat. Fourth layer of flavor might be a salsa that you would serve, or a chutney. So it's the complexity of flavors that really makes great barbecue, in my opinion." Barbecue's origins are in the South, but it has also become a summertime staple in the Northeast. "I took a chance on the Seaport because I knew, when I went down there, what was coming, and it was going to be a vibrant neighborhood that would draw people from all around the world," said Larry Jimerson, owner of Larry J's BBQ Café. "I believe that barbecue is the quintessential Americana food. It is the number one thing that people really seek out," he said. "They would get in their car and drive 45 minutes to an hour for what they consider good barbecue... [I was not] able to find really good quality barbecue when I moved here way back in the 90s. Now there's quite a few more places around." We talk all things barbecue in the latest edition of our summer fun series. GUESTS Larry Jimerson, owner of Larry J's BBQ Café in Boston's Seaport neighborhood Steven Raichlen, journalist, host of the PBS series, Planet Barbecue, and prolific author of more than 30 books, including "The Barbecue Bible"

Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 569 With Steven Raichlen Creator Of The Barbecue Bible. 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, indefatigable barbecue anthropologist 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 ubiquitous American obsessions.

Baseball and BBQ Episode #179: Celebrating baseball's opening week with a rare triple play from Loserville author, Clayton Trutor, The Grillin' Fools, Scott Thomas, and Spring Training Correspondent, Gary Looney Clayton Trutor joins us to discuss his latest book, Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta-and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports. It is a fascinating look at Atlanta, Georgia and the four professional sports teams it brought in to try and make them a "Major League Town." Trutor holds a PhD in U.S. history from Boston College. He writes about college football and basketball for SB Nation. Trutor is the Vermont state chairman of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and is a regular contributor to the SABR Biography Project. Loserville is a 10 year project for Trutor, and it was a decade well spent as it is truly fascinating. Scott Thomas is the originator of the Grillin' Fools. After thousands of failures, and quite a few successes, more than two decades later he started a website to show step by step, picture by picture, foolproof grilling instructions so that others don't have to repeat the mistakes he's made on the grill. Continually challenging the traditional “rules” and “standards” of BBQ, Scott will grill anything from lettuce and leeks to brisket and bread. He has written feature articles for both St. Louis and Feast Magazines, been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, and appeared in countless television and radio spots in his hometown of St. Louis as well as nationally televised tailgating commercials for Coca-Cola during NASCAR races on NBC and in an episode of Steven Raichlen's, Project Fire. More information on Scott and the Grillin' Fools can be found at https://grillinfools.com/ Gary Looney makes his long awaited return. Jeff first met Gary in 2020 at the Los Angeles Angels spring training camp complex in Arizona, and a friendship quickly developed. Gary appeared with us on episodes 125, 56, and 87. He once again offers great insight into spring training, the just-started baseball season, and how it is to see Shohei Ohtani in person. Having him on has become an annual tradition, and his baseball knowledge is a great addition to any episode. We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home by the musician, Dave Dresser, and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
