This cookbook will show readers a new side of Kevin from The Office. He’s all fired up with his comedic timing—and some seriously good eats. His Georgia boy-gone-Hollywood style of cooking will appeal to anyone who was tailgating at Bulldogs’ games (his alma mater) while also offering up some celebrity-worthy, celebratory meals with global flair. He takes readers on a road trip through the United States’ diverse barbecue cultures, from Kansas to Texas to the Deep South and beyond, with international takes, a full history, and a QR code to transport them to his instructional videos for the recipes. Spanning both new takes on classics and unexpected additions to down-home barbecues, these meals (many of which demand a bib) are presented in ways that will leave readers hungry to learn—and eat—more.
VERDICT This fun romp through briskets and baby back ribs proves that, while he burned Michael Scott at the roast on The Office, Baumgartner’s recipes sizzle and smoke with just the right amount of sauciness.
