“I love the quality of heat and the control working with a wood fire gives me.”


Grilling offers me the opportunity to marry the simple pleasure of being outdoors with the generous and creative act of making a meal for others. It transforms what was an isolated activity into a social, connected event where the guests are able to see and smell the food and know the person creating the fabulous meal for them. As a chef, I no longer want be separated from my guests by the door of my kitchen. By cooking with fire in an open-air kitchen I feel part of a long, primitive human tradition.
