"Chefs have an emotional fascination with fire, something primal and intuitive. This is not chichi food. Michael's cooking comes from the heart, soul, and gut. Simple, straightforward, and convivial, it is the food of a true pitmaster." --Jacques Ppin "Michael Symon does not 'play' with fire . . . he is fire, he lives enflamed, he laughs like fuego, he cooks like a demonic Miles Davis working feverishly at the bellows like valves of a trumpet on fire in the angelic and harmonic orchestra floating on the burning lake of deliciousness that shimmers above all of us in our sweetest dreams of yumbang potential. . . . The recipes and strategies in this incredible book will take you through the fire to the other side, the most tasty expression of perfectly seasoned and barely tamed and smoldering flame. You are in the hands of the master--beware and be careful, it's hot in this book." --Mario Batali "Here's why I'm lucky . . . Michael Symon is my best friend and I've eaten most of the dishes in this book. I can smell the smoke and taste the fire of these recipes just by paging through the spectacular photos. The Fireplace Chicken has become legend in our friendship, and now it can all be yours." --Bobby Flay "I've long been a fan of Michael Symon--his genuine enthusiasm, wild talent, and love of food are evident in anything he touches. Over the years, I've watched him develop a deep love for and embrace the culture of barbecue. At Mabel's, he applied his immense skills to create a flavor profile that reflects his unique heritage and geography, and here he shares all that and more. In this book, readers can join his world and learn from one of best as Michael offers his tips, tricks, and techniques for smoking meat. Anyone who loves barbecue will devour this book." --Mike Mills, 17th Street Barbecue, author Praise the Lard and Peace, Love & Barbecue, A Best Book of 2018: -- FoodNetwork -- Chicago Tribune "Chefs have an emotional fascination with fire, something primal and intuitive.

Synopsis
Cohost of The Chew and celebrated Iron Chef and restaurateur Michael Symon returns to a favorite subject, meat, with his first cookbook focused on barbecue and live-fire grilling, with over 70 recipes inspired by his newest restaurant, Mabel's BBQ, in his hometown of Cleveland. In preparing to open his barbecue restaurant, Mabel's BBQ, Michael Symon enthusiastically sampled smoked meat from across America. The 72 finger-licking, lip-smacking recipes here draw inspiration from his favorites, including dry ribs from Memphis, wet ribs from Nashville, brisket from Texas, pork steak from St. Louis, and burnt ends from Kansas City--to name just a few--as well as the unique and now signature Cleveland-style barbecue he developed to showcase the flavors of his hometown. Michael offers expert guidance on working with different styles of grills and smokers, choosing aromatic woods for smoking, cooking various cuts of meat, and successfully pairing proteins with rubs, sauces, and sides. If you are looking for a new guide to classic American barbecue with the volume turned to high, look no further.

    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.

    5 stars Great seller—made it right when USPS didn’t. The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.

  • A super "how to" cookbook.

    I had been advised by a fellow "griller" that this is an awesome book. With great recipes that are actually served in Michael's restaurants. I so agree. Was so excited when I received it and saw the great photography. Makes you want to fire up the grill. I judge my cookbooks by the photography. This one lives up to my expectations. Can't sell me on recipes if the photography is bad or there is none. You won't be disappointed in the quality of the recipes or the end results. Very inspiring. Micheal did a great job and deserves the praise. You take advantage of the Master.

  • Awesome cook book!

    I love to cook. I have a passion for cooking over fire. A great part about this book are the stories and explanations. You can feel that Michael has a passion for this too. I've already tried a few of the recipes for the sides and sauces. They were very good!!
