Acknowledgments

This book began with a simple idea, but it took the hard work of a small army of incredibly dedicated people to bring it to fruition.

My first thanks go to the extraordinary team who spent an incredible amount of time sequestered in a photo studio near the Orange Bowl in Miami to help me show how to grill through literally more than 1,000 color photographs: photographer Greg Schneider; food stylist Rebecca “Beck” Flast; photographic assistant Maria Jose “Chichi” Mari; Tamara Bigelow (who joined us in the ninth inning, but played a terrific game); Greek grill meister Peter Arvanitakes; and Miami pit master Jack Cooper.
