Nick Haddow’s Smoked Prime Rib 🥩
Smoking the Prime Rib. My good cooking buddy, Nick Haddow, invited me and my good friend, Bruce Babbitt, over for some smoked prime rib.

Ingredients 6 ears of corn 2 English cucumbers…

Grilled Caesar Salad 🥬
I first had a grilled Caesar salad about 15 years ago. I found the concept quite novel, but was amazed by the crunch, flavor, texture of the romaine lettuce halves. This dish really opened my eyes on new takes and preparations on traditional dishes, especially the use of a grill to make salad. Since that…
