(NBBQA) 2023 Awards of Excellence
From classic, competition-winning recipes to boundary-pushing
'que, join the founder of Meat Mitch competition BBQ team and Char
Bar Smoked Meat and Amusements for a BBQ Revolution! Mitch Benjamin
has helped open BBQ restaurants in Paris, served his smoked meat to
baseball legends at Yankee Stadium, and taken home some serious
hardware from just about every major BBQ competition. In this book, he
throws open the doors to his kitchen (or as he calls it, his "Mitchen")
and takes BBQ on a wild ride! The book starts with his behind the
scenes look at competition BBQ and smoking, then winds its way through
chapters both classic and creative:
-
Learn the ins and outs of competition BBQ, including some of
Mitch's award-winning recipes for sauces, rubs, and meats
from brisket and burnt ends to short ribs and pork butt.
-
Take a trip behind the scenes of Kansas City's Char Bar, with some
of their most popular recipes like their burnt heaven and smoked
chicken nuggets. Mitch even breaks out the smoking gun for some
smoked cocktails!
-
Next up, some truly revolutionary BBQ. Leave your expectations at home
as Mitch showcases recipes with reverse smoking, sous vide,
and other techniques. Master non-traditional mains including
smoked salmon, jackfruit, bone marrow, and much more.
-
There's never "que" much of a good thing! In a full chapter on
making the most of smoked meat, Mitch whips up Japanese steamed
buns; candied pork belly; and barbeque-stuffed tacos, quiche,
and poutine.
-
Last but not least, Mitch shares some of his legendary sides and
"amusements." Think addictive pimiento cheese, deviled eggs,
whoopie pies, and more!
Whether you're relatively new to BBQ or a seasoned pitmaster, you're
sure to find new ideas, techniques, and flavors if you hang around
with Mitch. What are you waiting for? Join the revolution!
