Get ready for a culinary adventure even Kevin Malone would approve of! Brian Baumgartner, best known for his iconic role as Kevin on The Office, is set to unveil his latest masterpiece: the Seriously Good Barbecue Cookbook. While Kevin may have had his struggles with accounting (who could forget “keleven”?), Brian’s kitchen skills are truly impressive, and he’s ready to share his secrets with the world. In a chat with E!, the seasoned pitmaster spilled all the beans on the inspiration for his book, his must-have grilling essentials, all-time favorite gifts, and more.
Packed with tantalizing recipes and expert tips, this cookbook is destined to become a staple for BBQ enthusiasts everywhere once it hits shelves on June 11, 2024. Ever wondered what puts Brian’s signature sauce in a league of its own? Look no further than his 15-minute “Award-Winning BBQ Sauce” recipe, guaranteed to have you licking your fingers faster than Stanley grabs his Pretzel Day snack. With Father’s Day around the corner, Brian’s plans are as solid as Dwight’s loyalty to Schrute Farms — a big family BBQ session is on the agenda. And if you’re curious about Kevin’s palate, Brian’s got you covered with the “Central City BBQ Brisket Chili” — a nod to Kevin’s unwavering love for the dish that would even impress Oscar (aka “Actually”).
So, grab your spatula and let’s fire up the grill!
