No, he’s not sleeping on the job. My barbecue buddy Mike Fox (Brooklyn schoolteacher by day, pit master nights and weekends) has been working since 3 a.m. to smoke the perfect 12-pound pork shoulder. Here, he catches a quick nap, bundled up against the cold during Florida’s recent cold snap.
When Mike’s around, we eat good things, like Korean barbecued short ribs.
Here’s Mike and my friend Shirley keeping warm around the grill.
