The Social Grill-New Kingsford Charcoal BBQ Spot

Check out the new Kingsford Charcoal BBQ commercial. My fantastic assistant, Cheryl Dent and I cooked and grilled 160 burgers, 150 chicken legs, 100 ears of yellow corn, 150 brats and 80 bell peppers until the shot was perfect. The gentleman "griller" did a great job flipping my "hero" burgers over and over as real flames and smoke got in the way of a clear shot. Great director and crew.

Assisting Joel Robuchon: My Dream Came True !

I was honored to be personally asked by Chef of the Century, Joel Robuchon, to assist him during Bon Appetit's 2014 sold-out Las Vegas UnCork'd Cooking Demonstration at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, MGM Grand. The packed house was throughly entertained. We learned new techniques while enjoying Chef's fantastic luncheon. Veuve-Cliquot Champagne flowed and paired boutique wines complimented each course. Merci Chef Joel Robuchon, from your assistant culinaire, Alice!
