The first time I ever cracked open a pork shoulder, I was 12, standing in my uncle’s smokehouse, watching him pull apart a brisket with the ease of someone who’d done it a thousand times.

This site is where I bring the best of traditional techniques and modern twists, because good food should never be boring.
