About

I’m going to admit something crazy: I crave bok choy more than I crave brisket. Don’t tell our pitmaster, Andrew Samia, I said that. Actually, maybe, don’t tell anyone I said that. Just make the recipe and you’ll see why I feel this way. Charred, garlicky bok choy tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce just never gets old. It is simply a great addition to any backyard BBQ or dinner. —
