My first guest this week is Paula Disbrowe with her new book FOOD52 Any Night Grilling – 60 Ways to Fire up Dinner (And More)
In Food52’s Any Night Grilling, author (and Texan) Paula Disbrowe coaches you through the fundamentals of cooking over fire so the simple pleasure of a freshly grilled meal can be enjoyed any night of the week—no long marinades or low-and-slow cook times here. Going way beyond your standard burgers and brats, Disbrowe offers up streamlined, surprising recipes for Crackly Rosemary Flatbread, Grilled Corn Nachos, and Porchetta-Style Pork Kebabs, alongside backyard classics like Sweet & Smoky Drumsticks, Gulf Coast Shrimp Tacos, and Green Chile Cheeseburgers. You’ll also be charring fruits and vegetables in coals for caramelized sweetness, bringing day-old bread back to life, and using lingering heat to cook ahead for future meals. Filled with clever tips, lush photography, and what will surely become your favorite go-to recipes, Any Night Grilling is the only book you and your grill need.
This innovative collection of recipes will have you grilling deeply flavorful dishes for lunch, dinner, or any time.

Later in the show (if the busy class schedule at ATBBQ permits) Chef Eric Gephart makes a brief appearance to talk about his visit this weekend at All Things Barbecue! Had the pleasure of presenting the wines at the ATBBQ Dinner on the Grill with Wine this Friday. Always a treat to have Chef Eric in the house…he is The Kamado Joe Director of Culinary Inspiration and the coolest grill master ever!
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2014 Brutocao Family Vineyards Contento Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino CA
“Our Contento Ranch is a beautiful, hillside vineyard, which gives this wine its distinct character of concentrated fruit and complex layers. Aromas of dark red fruit with cloves and lavender honey lead into a rich wine with dark plums and figs, giving way to coffee, caramel and notes of tobacco and resulting in a long, smooth finish of fruit and dark chocolate. “
This seductive wine has aromas of mint and cassis leading to deliciously ripe and complex fruit flavors within a creamy texture. While braced by fine-grained tannins, the wine remains almost silky on the palate, bringing cherry, blueberry and mocha flavors that linger on the finish. Wine Enthusiast 92 “Editors Choice”
