barbecue revolution

From classic competition recipes to innovative Q recipes, join the founder of Mitch Benjamin's Competition BBQ and Char-Bar Smokehouse & Entertaining team as he revolutionizes the barbecue world! Mitch Benjamin has helped open barbecue joints in Paris, served his smokehouses to baseball legends at Yankee Stadium, and acquired amazing equipment from nearly every major barbecue competition. In this book, he opens the doors to his kitchen (or as he calls it, "Mitchen") and takes barbecue on a wild ride! The book begins with a behind-the-scenes look at competition barbecue and smoking, then works its way through classic and creative chapters: Learn the ins and outs of competition barbecue, including some of Mitch's award-winning recipes for sauces, seasonings, and meats from brisket and seared ends to short ribs and pork loin.
Take a trip behind the scenes at Char's Bar in Kansas City, with some of their most popular recipes like Burnt Heaven and Smoked Chicken Nuggets. Mitch even breaks out the smoking gun for some smoky cocktails!
Next, some truly revolutionary barbecue. Leave your expectations at home as Mitch demonstrates recipes using reverse smoking, sous vide, and other techniques. Master unconventional main courses including smoked salmon, jackfruit, bone marrow, and much more.
There's never too much "ask" for a good thing! In an entire chapter on making the most of smoked meats, Mitch makes steamed Japanese buns; candied pork belly; and BBQ-stuffed tacos, quiches, and poutine.
Last but not least, Mitch shares some of his popular sides and "entertainments." Imagine delicious pimento cheese, scrambled eggs, whoopie pies, and more!

Whether you're relatively new to barbecue or a meat-preparation expert, you're sure to discover new ideas, techniques, and flavors if you spend time with Mitch. What are you waiting for? Join this revolution!
