Welcome back to Pizza Quest!

The artist known as Meathead is back, hard on the heels of his newest book, The Meathead Method: A BBQ Hall of Famer’s Secrets and Science on BBQ, Grilling, and Outdoor Cooking with 114 Recipes. His website and newsletter, AmazingRibs.com, is followed by millions of people worldwide, where we all can get everything we need to know, free of charge, about cooking meat — with and without fire — and this includes both the science and the craft, which is why I referred to him above as an artist. His new book has been described by Alton Brown as, “The only book on outdoor cookery you’ll ever need.” In addition, thousands of his followers are dues paying members of his exclusive Pitmaster’s Club, which entitles them to all sorts of other benefits and perks, all discussed in this episode. I guarantee that you will learn more than you ever imagined about food science and cookery in this dynamic conversation with the one and only Meathead.
