Congrats to our son James who is being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the USMC. Being informed by a General made it extra special. With a 14 hour time difference in Okinawa, I toasted with James and Amanda this morning on FaceTime with a little bourbon. A dad has to do things like that with his son.

Food brings people together.

Inspired by these timeless traditions, Chef Holderbaum wants to share the unique, community-building experience that is live- fire grilling with his friends and family back home... and with you.
