He’s the author of Charred and Scruffed, a new book that is a barbeque guidebook with new grilling techniques. It’s also a cookbook with recipes for side dishes, spackles, bastes and finishing salts.

I will be conducting a Q & A with Adam and will be looking for good audience participation.

See you there!
