5 out of 5 stars Great book wish it was better made.......2007-09-28

I have enjoyed this book this summer. I have used several of the tips and receipes all to great success. The only problem I have with it is the binding is coming apart. About 30 pages fell out last time I pulled it out. Not real happy with that since it is fairly new but I should be able to fix it somehow. Anyway this is a great book ... regardless of experence level.

5 out of 5 stars good book on grilling.......2007-09-02

Good book. Lots of tips, and good recipes. Beer-can chicken is the ONLY way to do chicken, as far was we are concerned! Many great grilled meals await you.

5 out of 5 stars GRILLING 101 for charcoal or gas.......2007-09-02

.
This is an ideal starting point if you want to get the most out of your grill; be it charcoal or gas.

If you are looking for a good book on grilling, this is a great choice. This book will assuredly help you improve your skill on the grill. It covers everything from Hamburgers to Ribs and veggies.

If you've already got skills, the recipes will not disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-08-23

Wonderful format and excellent recipes. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and I haven't had a dud yet. You have to absolutely try the Beer Can Chicken. You will never eat chicken any other way again!

4 out of 5 stars Some good recipes, but heavily padded, and with some noteable flaws.......2007-08-21

Despite it's popularity as a best seller, I think this book is rather over-rated.

STRENGTHS:
* This book has lots of comforting full-color photographs for the benefit of culinarily adventerous n00bs.
* This books covers a fairly broad array of grilling recipes ... meat, fish, vegetables, fruit ... there's a little bit of something for almost everyone, which is exactly what they set out to do, in order to maximize sales. Charcoal is preferred, but this book is minimally gas friendly too ... but only if your burners are of the front-to-rear variety. If they're side to side, you're SOL when it comes to most 'indirect heat' techniques.
* Some of the recipes are actually pretty tasty, which partially compensates for some of the serious flaws listed below. One standout for me is the whole butterflied marinated leg of lamb (which I've since improved upon). Nice recipe, but too much scallion.

NITS:
* This books sacrifices depth for breadth - in other words, it covers a LOT of turf, but none of it exhaustively or well.
* This book is heavily and gratuitously padded with needlessly repetative and unnecessary fluff. Case in point - virtually every recipe says to start your grill, and then wastes a FULL PAGE repeating, over and over and over again (with the same color photos) how to start and bank a 2 or 3-tier charcoal fire, for direct or indirect grilling. Cutting out that wasted repitition would have left room for (I kid you not) at least 33% more recipes, for the same page count. Can you say "RIP OFF" ? I knew you could.
* The photographer they hired is a cheater, and a gimick-hound, and nothing irks me faster than photographs (and cookbooks that use them) that lie and deceive. Case in point - if you look any almost any of the close-ups, you will spot right away that most of the grilled items were BAKED (not grilled) off camera, and that the food photographer merely made them APPEAR grilled by branding them with hot wires, and then laying them on a stone-cold-never-before-used grill. There are, however, a few very helpful sequences ... such as the one on how to prep and grill a whole baby lamb (something I'm looking forward to attempting sometime this coming year).
* Some of the recipes are just plain absurd. I mean come on - what [...]-retentive cook is going to butterfly a dozen hot dogs, stuff them with cheese and jalepeno slices, tie them closed, grill them (somehow without making a total mess), and then de-string and serve them before the cheese hardens back up again ? HELLO ?

5 out of 5 stars The best plank grilling book by far........2007-07-08

I own several plank grilling books ("Sticks and Stones", "The art of Plank Grilling", "The Plank Grilling Cookbook", and "Planking Secrets"). I also own Steven Raichlen's "Beer-Can Chicken and 74 other offbeat recipes for the grill" and have read his discussion of plank grilling there.

"Planking Secrets" is by far the best of the lot. The discussion of the history, science, and technique of plank grilling is second to none, and the recipes are the best I have ever tried. Every time I cook a recipe from this book I get rave reviews. Just tonight I cooked a maple-planked chateubriand with a coffe/cocoa/cinnamon/pecan/pepper rub from page 154 that was so good it left everyone literally speechless. If you are going to try plank grilling you simply have to own this book. The Author clearly knows just about everyone who is anyone when it comes to fine foods, because some of the best in the business have contributed recipes and techniques to this book.

I don't think Mr. Griffo, who gives this book a negative review, knows what he is talking about. As noted, I have read several books and a lot of internet discussion and I see a pretty even split between the two camps. It is telling that this book has the best recipes and many were contributed by well-known professionals who clearly respect the author and his methods. My guess is that they know more than Mr. Griffo.

This is a great book, buy it.

5 out of 5 stars best planking cookbook I've seen.......2007-06-09

I was motivated to write my first Amazon review ever after reading another by Mr. Griffo.

His concern is misinformed.

There is virtually no risk of fire spreading off the barbecue when putting a soaked plank on open flames while cooking. Indeed, that is the art and science of planking.

I've given several copies of this books to friends far more skilled on the grill than I. Reviews are 100% positive.

Every dish we've tried has been excellent. He's both a great cook and entertaining writer.

Five stars from this reviewer. Though I like Shewchuk's "Barbecue Secrets" cookbook even better.

2 out of 5 stars Not the best book for planking.......2007-02-25

I didn't find this book to be very useful. It isn't very good for the very thing it is intended -- planking!

The planking techniques it suggests are the exact opposite of what most other planking recpicies recommend. That is, you should never place a plank directly over fire for an extended period of time. No matter how long you soak it ahead of time, it will eventually catch fire.

Wood burns! Duh!

Book Description

The Incredible Life Story of the World’s Most Successful Restaurateur Will Whet Your Appetite for Inspiration and Success

Known as “the Steven Spielberg of the restaurant industry,” Phil Romano has achieved a higher rate of success than any other restaurateur in history. During the past 40 years, he has launched more than 25 dining concepts and amassed a restaurant empire valued in excess of $10 billion.

More than 10 million customers a year in 48 states and 8 foreign countries visit a Phil Romano eatery, no doubt many back for seconds. In Food for Thought: How the Creator of Fuddrucker’s, Romano’s Macaroni Grill, and eatZi’s Built a $10 Billion Empire One Concept at a Time, Romano shares his recipe for success.

From dreaming up an original concept all the way to reaping a jaw-dropping return on investment, Romano reveals the distinctive process and “operational-integrity creed” he follows to create a winning eatery, including:

•How to achieve the entrepreneurial mindset and recognize opportunity when it crosses your path •“Service is primary. Profit is secondary” •Getting out of the “dining business” and into the “eating business” •How to recognize a great idea in a world of mediocre ones •Utilizing a network approach to management; i.e. “Nobody works for me, they work with me” •“Difference and points of difference are what makes success, not just brilliance” Written with candor and spiced with humor, Food for Thought provides a fascinating look at the hits and misses of Romano’s remarkable career. Whether you’re a novice entrepreneur or seasoned pro, it’s sure to help you cook up your own ideas and strategies for success in any industry.

5 out of 5 stars Food for thought provides excellent thought.......2006-12-18

Romano has built one of the great food empires and keeps on creating more. He has had over 25 different restaurant concepts and has made billions. He focuses on the creative content and the principles that have created hit after hit. He also analyzes his failures and the reason for why they failed. While Fuddruckers is arguably his most successful Romano's Macaroni grill has also prospered and even though both were sold off reading about their beginning was fascinating. His newest restaurant EatZi's is a great idea that combines upscale grocery store with eating experience. It will be interesting to see if this idea takes off outside of the large cities it is being tired in but overall this book will fascinate you and leave you wanting to start a restaurant of your own.

5 out of 5 stars A Truly Fascinating Business Story.......2006-07-06

If you're in business, any business you can learn from Phil Romano. His grandmother taught him early about visualization, saying, "Talk of the devil and he will appear, talk about failure and it will happen, talk about success and you'll have it."

Phil never worked in a restaurant before owning one and has never relied on anyone but himself for a paycheck.

As I always like to point out in my reviews and my Blog (The Real Estate Investors Blog) there are several invaluable techniques as far as deal structure. Starting with the structure of Fuddruckers:

After being turned down for a bank loan Phil rounded up 10 investors at $15,000 a pop and gave them 48% and kept 52% for himself. So they put up the money and he ran it and called the shots. That 15k grew to $3.4 million in less than 2 years. This was his 12th restaurant concept and he walked away with $17 million.

His next move is mind boggling. He invested $250k to back the investors of the heart stint and walked away with $165 million over the next 17 years or thereabouts.

Then he's on to The Macaroni Grill, buying entire towns and toying with different concepts. He took a gas station from doing $500k in revenues to $5 million. Then there's Nachomama's, Spegeddies and EatZi's a 50/50 partnership with Phil and Brinker which was doing $3,000 per sq. foot in sales. Everything from the structure, the numbers and the margins are described.

Some Romano-isms:

"I've come to learn that creativity is mostly about identifying a problem and, instead of just living with it, coming up with a solution. Too many companies are resigned to working around problems instead of really addressing their cause."

"I don't predict the future; I imagine it. And my imagination has no bounds. Neither should yours."

"If you make a mistake in hiring someone, don't make the mistake in waiting too long to let them go. The problem will just get bigger and bigger."

"Throughout my life, I've often been asked why I don't do things by the book. Well, it's because "the book" is for people who aren't creative enough to figure out a better way."

"I've had my share of failures, most of which have been outlined in these pages. But something inside me has always said to get up, dust off, and move onto the next challenge with a positive attitude. Life is far to short to dwel on bad calls you've maid. Negative thinking can kill you, and it can infect others."

"I advise people in the restaurant business to dream big, imagine their success, and imagine the success of the employees around them. Negative thinking is toxic."

I bought the book for several of my friends, family and partners who are in the service industry and truly recommend it.

By Kevin Kingston, author of: A 20,000% Gain in Real Estate: A True Story About the Ups and Downs From Wall Street to Real Estate Leading to Phenomenal Returns

5 out of 5 stars Lively autobiography of Fuddruckers' innovator.......2006-06-07

Philip J. Romano is "an idea man at heart." The innovative restaurateur launched multiple successful U.S. franchises, including Fuddruckers and Romano's Macaroni Grill. He discovered that people would pay for his concepts, so he kept thinking and opening new restaurants. In this chatty, inside-flavored autobiography, he shares his creative processes and the principles that guide his business decisions. He knows the hot dinner business cold, and doesn't mind saying so. We dish up this light, entertaining read to those who are interested in entrepreneurial success stories or to anyone who wants an insider's view of the restaurant business.

5 out of 5 stars A great story, some real inspiration & business sense.......2005-05-18

I love reading about the creativity behind the business. I admire someone who has the courage to follow through on his inspiration. Phil Romano did it over and over again. I do believe that he puts service before profit -- the proof is in the restaurants themselves. This book makes me curious about the ones I haven't tried yet, and I'm waiting for what's next.

I even culled some business tips -- some rules to live by. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for some inspiration, a good story, and some sound business moves.

5 out of 5 stars great business book.......2005-05-17

I just recently read WINNING by Jack Welch and I have to tell you that book is just a good. It is a real quick read and there was so much great info from front to cover. And, it is actually quite funny.

I reccommend this book as a great summer read.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent reference on techniques and ingredients.......2006-07-12

From a weekend barbecue warrior:

This is really an excellent reference for ingredients, tips and techniques on grilling and barbecuing. Very practical and useful since the information is well organized, with cross-references to related topics, recipes, equipment and ingredients.

But be aware, this reference includes a few recipes, but it isn't a complete collection of recipes, if that is what you are looking for, you might want to try "The Barbecue Bible" or "The Gas Grilling Gourmet".

And as I always say: always enjoy the experience of barbecuing and grilling at home, with or without this book. With your own recipes or with borrowed recipes. Just enjoy the moment and have a lot of fun with family and friends around the grill.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful reference!.......2005-10-22

Being new at grilling, I needed a complete guide and this book, The Grilling Encyclopedia, just fit the bill. Perfect! SO much information and laid out beautifully - very easy to use!

This is the best grilling book I've run across. The helpful tips and detail descriptions really make it a must for anyone that is just starting to grill.

5 out of 5 stars Well done! (get it?).......1998-05-29

This is the best grill reference out there. It's concise, accurate, and comprehensive. Includes recipes for excellent dry rubs, marinades, and side dishes. More than a reference, it's easy and fun to read. I've used this book for the past four years as a guide to grill everything from steaks and burgers to corn-on-the-cob, bananas, pizza - even Thanksgiving dinner!

As many outdoor cooks know, barbecuing has its challenges. How to Barbecue & Roast on the Grill reveals keys to perfect barbecuing in succinct form. In fewer than 100 pages it provides illustrated, step-by-step instructions for preparing the most popular meat and poultry (including turkey) barbecues--recipes, tips, and information that all cooks can use.

Making a distinction between grilling (cooking thin, tender foods over high heat), barbecuing (cooking tough, thick cuts over low heat), and grill-roasting (barbecuing with moderate heat), the book then explores each fundamental method in useful detail. Representative recipes cover barbecued beef brisket, pulled pork, salmon and ribs, and grill-roasted poultry, beef tenderloin, and pork loin. Also provided are gas-grill variations and formulas for rubs and sauces. Throughout, underlying techniques are explored and illustrated (preparing and slicing barbecued brisket is one), and sensible tips abound (for example, grill-roasted turkey, accompanied by salsa or chutney, makes a wonderful dish for summer entertaining).

A true primer, the book is part of the Cook's Illustrated Library series. Like the magazine, the books are dedicated to presenting tried-and-perfected recipes and cooking techniques in a concise, approachable way. --Arthur Boehm

This book is a good cookbook for someone who is just beginning to experiment with cooking meat on the outdoor grill. It focuses primarily on indirect cooking methods. The book is easy to read and informative. Unfortunately, the recipes for barbcue are tomato-based recipes, not REAL barbecue like we have here in North Carolina. :-)

Successful grilling depends on simple but often-ignored techniques. How to Grill explores this great American culinary art succinctly. In fewer than 100 pages it provides illustrated, step-by-step instructions for grilling meat, seafood, poultry, and vegetables outdoors--recipes, tips, and information that all cooks can use.

Beginning with a section on grilling basics that emphasizes the usefulness of the two-level charcoal fire--a hot section for searing, a cooler one for cooking through--the book then explores the best approach to making grilled steaks and burgers; pork tenderloin and chops; and lamb chops, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. Recipes cover various cuts within a particular food category--grilled strip steak, porterhouse, and London broil, for example--or offer a theme with variations, such as basic grilled salmon with a mustard glaze or Indian flavors with mango chutney. Throughout, underlying techniques are explored and illustrated (preparing a two-level fire is particularly helpful), and sensible tips abound (for example, to determine the amount of gas left in tank, pour a cup of boiling water on the outside; the tank will feel warm where it's empty, hot where it's full).

4 out of 5 stars interesting little book.......2007-05-25

good tips and great recipes, and best of all it gave a great bit of advice that when i used it i wound up NOT having cajun (aka blackened/charcoaled) chicken! could be a little cheaper in price tho.
