Newsletter: 🧑‍🍳 The influential chef Shaun Hill in profile + how to harness spice and smoke 🔥🌶️

“The concept is Thai curry meets Texas barbecue, but at its core, Curry Boys is the beautiful amalgamation of three individuals, our unique perspectives, and ultimately, our expression of what we enjoy smoking, cooking, and eating! And honestly, that is what we want you to take away from this book: to unapologetically be yourself when it comes to smoking and barbecuing. As long as you respect the craft and the cultures, you’re free to make the food your own.” Sean Wen, co-founder and co-owner of Curry Boys BBQ
