ICE CREAM Brioche Buns Pistachio Gelato Resources About the Authors Acknowledgments Index FOREWORD When I first heard that Andy Husbands and Chris Hart, the diabolically clever minds behind the championship barbecue team IQUE, were at work on a hamburger book, my first emotion was a queasy dread. But then I brightened up. Husbands and Hart are the most innovative cooks in the barbecue world; their ability to transcend the cast-iron prison of conventional smoke cooking represents the most liberating thing to happen to barbecue since the invention of coal. But, while the techniques and technology of cooking it have changed (for the worse), the basic flavors and recipes are the same (or worse.) That was what was so amazing about IQUE: As a paradox, this can hardly be overstated. It’s as if North Korea were to finance Christo’s latest project or a Civil War re- enactment society producing a white paper outlining a post-national paradigm for counter-insurgency operations. Unless you’ve had to judge it, you can’t believe how stultified and conventional the world of competition barbecue is; and it would be equally hard to express how singularly elegant IQUE’s work is, by any standard.
