Recipes from BBQ Revolution – Leite's Culinaria

BBQ Revolution

Mitch Benjamin has helped open BBQ restaurants in Paris, served his smoked meat to baseball legends at Yankee Stadium, and taken home some serious hardware from just about every major BBQ competition. In this book, he throws open the doors to his kitchen (or as he calls it, his “Mitchen”) and takes BBQ on a wild ride! The book starts with his behind the scenes look at competition BBQ and smoking, then winds its way through chapters both classic and creative.

Give your smoker something to look forward to—sweet tea and bourbon are a swoon-worthy marinade for a salmon fillet. Leftovers are perfect for bagels and cream cheese.

Texas-Style Chili with Pork and Brisket

This meaty chili brings everyone to the table. The complex flavors are thanks to three different types of meat, a good helping of spices, and tequila. That's right—it's a party!
