I Think Many Cooks Are Afraid Of

I Grew Up In Fall River, Massachusetts. My Background Was Modest, And I Worked At A Portuguese Bakery In Town.

I'm Pretty Actively Involved With The Military Because I Think They're Incredible Human Beings. If I Can Give Back To Them For What They're Doing For Us, It's A Good Thing. And I Think To Have Happy Soldiers, You Need To Feed Them Well.

I'm Not A Tv Guy. I'm A Restaurant Chef And A Businessman.

When I Want To Kick It Up, I Like To Add Hardwood Chips Or Chunks To The Grill; It Adds Bold Smoky Flavors. The Most Common Woods Are Hickory And Mesquite, But You Can Find Alder, Apple, Cherry And, My Personal Favorite, Pecan.

Spice Is Life. It Depends Upon What You Like... Have Fun With It. Yes, Food Is Serious, But You Should Have Fun With It.
