Master Skills from Master Grillers
-
Chef Kenneth Temple
I’m out to inspire mouthwatering food, cooked simply but masterfully from everyday ingredients. And my culinary approach is all about showcasing world cuisine through a New Orleans lens. But I didn’t grow up stirring Grandma’s pot in the kitchen. All my cooking skills were learned in college, when I was figuring how to make the foods I grew up eating. Not to sound cliche, but if I can do it? You really can, too.”

"Now, my goal is always to empower people, and be approachable to people — and from the inside looking out, I’ve seen for myself that Weber really embraces that ethos. We want to teach people how to be comfortable behind the grill. We just happen to be doing it with a product that hasn’t gone through all these crazy evolutions. Do something well, do it consistently, and be inventive. Isn’t that what cooking’s all about?"

Danielle "Diva Q" Bennett
"Ask me anything about meat. Anything. Grilled, smoked, stewed, roasted, broiled, baked, braised, stir-fried, smothered, stuffed, dry aged, wet aged… should I go on? Because I can. Let me tell it to you, as straight as I take my bourbon: I’ve been living the barbecue lifestyle for a long time now. Ever since the week I judged my first competition in 2006. And I’ll tell you, just like I tell everyone I talk to, “Life is too short for bad BBQ!"

Rasheed Philips
"For all the interest and accolades that anyone has for me, I owe 100% to the women who raised me: my mom, my grandmother, and my Aunt Jenn. Thanks to them, today I’m the proud owner of Philips Barbecue Co., runner-up for Netflix’s American BBQ Showdown, and host of the Entro Podcast — where I showcase the real stories of hard-working, upcoming entrepreneurs."

Chef Tony Matassa
"When I’m not filming Expert Overviews, I advise our article writers on basically everything grilling (and give them the old ‘red marker’ treatment — what would they do without me?), lend my hands to cook for charitable events, and… let’s just say, I’m a man with lots of fingers and surrounded by pies. When it involves telling the story behind great ingredients and awesome flavors, well… I’m always going to be the first one there and the last one to leave."
