The Lobel family, of Lobel’s Prime Meats, are well known as the top authorities on buying and preparing meat--not just by the celebrity customers who frequent their Madison Avenue shop and the media that so often quote them, but also by their huge mail-order clientele (the more than 23,000 members of their Web site club at Lobels.com). Enhancing the book’s top-quality advice for grilling the best cuts of meat (from classic Porterhouse Steak to extra-moist Farmhouse-Style Pork Chops), this new edition has been beefed up with answers to frequently asked grilling questions; at-a-glance charts on grilling beef, veal, pork, lamb, and poultry; plus 30 delicious new recipes including Smoked Southwest Sirloin Burgers, which accompanies a new section on using a smoker. It’s more than recipes--it’s a must-have primer for grilling enthusiasts.

The Lobel family co-owns and runs Lobel’s Prime Meats in New York City, as well as the successful online store. The Lobels have written six other books on meat and have appeared on television shows such as the Today show and Martha Stewart Living. Lobel’s has been featured in countless publications, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Food & Wine, People, Fortune, Vogue, Esquire, and Good Housekeeping.
