Steven Raichlen has traveled and tasted his way along the world’s barbecue trail—from slow roasted brisket in Texas and whole roasted lamb in Argentina to ginger-turmeric prawns in Malaysia and kangaroo kebabs in Australia.

Raichlen is the foremost authority on grilling, and he’s bringing his love for live fire to WPSU’s 19th Annual Connoisseur’s Dinner on February 12, 2011. Guests will enjoy some of the world’s most authentic and flavorful recipes right off the grill while supporting their favorite public broadcasting station.

Raichlen is host of Primal Grill and Barbecue University on PBS. He recently published Planet Barbecue, and his other books include How to Grill and The Barbecue Bible. You can find him online at www.barbecuebible.com/.

Stay tuned for details about Raichlen’s visit to State College, and come back to find out what Penn Staters are grilling this football season. Florentine porterhouse and cactus pear crisp, anyone?
