The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling

Meathead Goldwyn is the publisher of Amazing Ribs, a go-to site for recipes and advice about both barbecueing and grilling (they are different!), and a member of the Barbecue Hall of Fame. He judges not only barbecue competitions, but also wines! He has a very diverse career, and you should visit the first link on this page to read more about him.

My favorite tidbit is this: his nickname was originally a reference to the iconic television sitcom, Archie Bunker, but it is certainly apropos given his chosen profession.

Wet Cured Ham

Cooking a perfect ham is more difficult than I thought it would be. It doesn't help that it's something most people only make a couple times a year, so they don't get much practice. (It's me, I'm most people, and I don't get enough practice.)
