The L. A. Weekly has selected 60 characters as the 2011 People of L. A. and I was selected and profiled, both online and in print. Check out the article and let me know what you think. I'd also appreciate it if you left a comment on the L.A. Weekly site also.

Thanks!

Very cool. Congrats man!

I do the backyard thing myself and now have friends asking me to cook for them and they'll pay. The start of something greater? I may be asking you some BBQ Business questions in the future.
