Salute to the Troops! 4th of July Grilling Tips from Pit Master Meathead

NWP welcomes back Pit Master and Grilling expert Meathead Goldwyn! ?

His biz card says he is the BBQ Whisperer and Hedonism Evangelist behind http://AmazingRibs.com, the world's most popular BBQ & grilling website. The Roman god Bacchus is his paragon.

"I've had the privilege of judging barbecue and other foods and drinks from Italy to California. I have been a judge at the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue, at the Kingsford Invitational, at the California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition, at the World-Wide Mustard Competition, and the World Championship Steak Cook-Off. I have served as Chief Judge of the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition and Chief Judge of the College Football Hall of Fame Kickoff Riboff, and I founded and directed for many years the World Wine Championships, World Beer Championships, and World Spirits Championships."

"Along the way I have tried to share my love of the sensory world with words and pictures. I was a journalism major at the University of Florida and I have written hundreds of articles about food and drink as a syndicated columnist for the Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune."

"I've been helping folks learn about food and drink online since 1990 when I started Wine & Dine Online as part of LAOnline, long before anybody typed "w" three times in a row. I then hosted the Food & Drink Network on America Online from 1992-2000, built Tastings.com in 1998, and built http://AmazingRibs.com in 2005."
