Sequel to the bestselling Boy Meets Grill, Boy Gets
Grill marks Bobby Flay's return to the fire with his
first grilling book in five years. The connection
between Flay and fire began when, as a kid growing up in New
York City, Bobby learned to grill during trips to the Jersey
Shore. As a young chef starting out, he always wanted to
work the grill station, and when he opened his first
restaurant in 1991, he called it Mesa Grill. The word
grill was firmly hooked to his name. And then, the
Food Network called. Like his highly rated prime-time
grilling show, Boy Gets Grill is set on a rooftop in
Queens overlooking the Manhattan skyline and celebrates the
explosive flavors of his hometown's diverse neighborhoods.
This is Bobby Flay's New York, and everywhere he goes, there
is great grilling: from Chinatown to Astoria, Queens (Greek
food); Arthur Avenue in the Bronx (for old-style Italian);
and lower Lexington Avenue (better known as Curry Hill, for
Indian); and the flavors go on and on. The question
isn't "Can I grill this?" but "Is there a reason not to
grill this?" Usually the answer is "Go ahead and try it!"
Throughout, Bobby gets more and more out of the grill,
making life easier and encouraging everyone to think big,
have fun, and get their hands dirty. The grill is no
longer for weekends only. The recipes in Boy Gets
Grill are the quickest and easiest that Bobby has ever
created, making the grill a perfect vehicle for busy
weeknight meals. Flavors are (pleasantly) challenging. For
the simplest of suppers, try Grilled Quesadillas with Sliced
Steak, Blue Cheese, and Watercress; Grilled Shrimp with
Triple Lemon Butter; Grilled Tuna with Red Chile, Allspice,
and Orange Glaze; or a Pressed Cuban-Style
Burger. Boy Gets Grill is also full of great
ideas for entertaining and enjoying the company of family
and friends. In the "Big Parties" section, Bobby takes hosts
and hostesses through every step of preparation for a Fish
Taco Party, Burger Bar, and a Skewer Party (perfect for
backyard cocktail parties where one hand stays free to hold
a glass). There are even recipes for brunch on the
grill. The book includes cool drinks to sip while the
fire gets hot, as well as appetizers, salads, simple
desserts, and, of course, the meats, fish, and poultry that
everyone loves to grill. Bobby also gives tips on what
equipment you need to grill (and more important, what you
don't); six simple (and decidedly low-tech) steps to test
for doneness; how to gauge how hot your fire is; and Bobby's
Guide to Steak.
