Tyler Florence Is Heating Up the Grill

Biscuits & Jam

Tyler Florence is a Southern chef and Food Network star who, after 16 previous cookbooks, is finally releasing one that focuses on his passion for grilling. Tyler has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager in Greenville, South Carolina. Since then he’s lived and worked in Charleston, New York City and, for more than a decade now, California – where he and his partners run several high profile restaurants. But as Tyler likes to say, “you can take the boy out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the boy.” And now in addition to his restaurants, a food festival tour, and his extensive run of shows on the Food Network, his new book rekindles his love of cooking outside. It’s called American Grill: 125 Recipes for Mastering Live Fire, and it’s fair to say Tyler is fired up about it. Tyler talks to Sid about why it took him a while to get around to this one, the way he discovered his interest in cooking at a young age, plus the absolute best way to grill a streak. He also explains why grilling is a chance to slow down and connect with the outdoors.
