I talked with Linda Gassenheimer about my days of “grilling” food in foil packets on exhaust pipes in the Marines. I share how this improv-style cooking trained me to develop quick, easy recipes for weeknight grilling for my cookbook, Grill Seeker: Basic Training for Everyday Grilling. I also offer tips and tricks for easy everyday grilling recipes, talk my favorite steak and wine pairing, discuss why you should reverse sear your steaks, weigh in on the gas grill vs charcoal grill debate, and explain how to use the grill for every part of a meal—from appetizers to grilled desserts.
