Pasadena's designing new barriers to stop jumpers
Labor Day is our last summer holiday to gather around and cook a barbecue. We celebrate by highlighting different styles of grilled meat from different traditionsWinnie Yee-Lakhani, aka The Smoke Queen brings Asian flavors to her 'east meets west' barbeque; Logan Sandoval of Simi Valley's pop up Zef BBQ uses hot chiles, moles and curry to twist tradition, while Armenians celebrate with meat cooked on a mangal.Cooking over an open fire always meant more than making food.
Often, voices rise, but someone quickly suggests a toast, and all are friends around the sparkly fire once again.“Armenians call their style of barbecue ‘khorovats’, [which] translates into ‘cook over open fire’," says Ara Zada, chef and co-author of“It’s more like a dance around the mangal — to know where to put meat and vegetables, where the charcoal is,” Zada adds. ‘’Your meat goes on at a different time, your chicken, your vegetables.
Armenians take khorovats so seriously that they hold festivals and contests around it — and have even dedicated a song to it, which is often played at weddings and other major happenings.“Barbeque is the quintessential American food,” says Jim Auchmutey, the author of “I was 10 or 11 the first time I started having a fascination towards food and realized that food can be so much more than a tuna casserole or hamburgers,” he says.Hot chiles, sauces, moles, and other vibrant flavors help Zef BBQ stand out, like the pork belly burnt ends, boldly seasoned with Chinese five spice and Sichuan peppercorns, and the short rib curry, soaked in house-made panang curry with the delicate taste of cinnamon.
