The 'Cheater BBQ' story comes from the collision of a single balding Eagle Scout with too many grills and plenty of time to ponder hardwoods and a multi-tasking, seasoned test kitchen home economist with a couple of hungry kids. Together, these encouraging, humorous cooks make the most of cooking in tandem—indoors and out—and believe that if you can get along in the kitchen, you can get along anywhere. R.B. Quinn is an accomplished public speaker and lecturer. His weekly (Nashville) Tennessean column, The Fire Zone, chronicled his cooking and eating adventures on the patio, creating a forum with loyal readers who related to his humorous and loving look at the everyday antics of a cooking couple. A class of ’74 Eagle Scout, R.B.’s love of outdoor cooking was ignited by his mother who trained him as her sous chef and to man the family brazier. As founding legal director of The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, R.B. appeared on television and radio, including as First Amendment analyst on Freedom Speaks, broadcast on PBS. He is a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance and is a Kansas City Barbecue Society certified judge. |
