Des pique-niques d'avant-match aux barbecues qui inspirent toute la communauté

Stimuler la créativité, un plat à la fois

Ça fait environ 20 ans que je fais des barbecues, mais c’est lors des innombrables week-ends passés à faire la fête avant les matchs des Raiders à Oakland que ma passion s’est vraiment envolée. Il y a quelque chose dans l’énergie d’un jour de match et dans l’odeur du barbecue qui m’a vraiment séduit. Il y a un peu plus d’un an, j’ai décidé de commencer à partager mon parcours et ma passion en ligne, dans l’espoir d’être une source de créativité et d’inspiration au sein de notre communauté de passionnés de barbecue.

Maîtriser le barbecue : questions-réponses avec Nicholas Keith

What inspired you to start barbecuing?
I got into BBQ through some friends I tailgated with at Raider games. The tailgating vibe and amazing BBQ had me hooked, and I wanted to learn the craft myself. I’m excited to keep the tradition alive for my generation of pit masters.
How long have you been barbecuing?
It’s been a few years now since I started, and each cook has been a chance to improve. Every tailgate and backyard BBQ is another opportunity to learn and perfect my skills.
What advice would you give to someone new to grilling?
Don’t be afraid to mess up! Mistakes are part of the journey, and if you’re not having a few fails, you’re not pushing yourself enough. Each mistake is a learning experience.
Do you have any advice for someone starting out as a BBQ content creator?
Embrace the learning curve and share both the wins and the fails. People appreciate authenticity and will connect with you more when they see the real journey behind becoming a pitmaster.
What’s your favorite grilling technique and why?
I’d have to say 2-zone cooking. It’s a foundational technique that lets you control the heat better, so you’re not cooking things too quickly or unevenly.
