Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops

If you’re looking for an upgrade this grilling season, here it is. Pork chops rubbed with an unexpected mix of spices and then grilled to juicy perfection. And no time-consuming marinade.

Smoked Prime Rib

Infused with smoke as it cooks low and slow, this compelling centerpiece is, quite simply, the best and most unique prime rib we’ve ever tried. And worth standing at the smoker even during the dead of winter.

Spicy Tomato Blue Cheese Soup

This spicy tomato soup gets its heat from Thai Sriracha sauce and depth from blue cheese. San Marzano tomatoes are used, so the soup can be made anytime.
