In this episode, Steven Raichlen shares with us his long journey from Reed College, to writing for an underground newspaper in Boston, to landing in south Florida where he has since authored 32 books and won numerous James Beard Awards \u2014 all driven by his global quest in search of every known iteration of cooking with fire. His books have sold millions of copies and his public broadcasting cooking shows have inspired us all and opened a world of international flavor possibilities. I often refer to our Pizza Quest followers as members of a tribe of kindred spirits we affectionately call \u201cfire freaks.\u201d So, prepare to meet the tribal elder and current godfather of the fire freak movement, as Steven Raichlen shares his inspiring story in this \u201cbreak out the grills\u201d episode of Pizza Quest.
