Author Bio

John Stage is a co-owner of the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in New York City, Syracuse, and Rochester, New York. He got into the barbecue business in 1983 when he and his partner, Mike Rotella, sawed a 55-gallon drum in half and took to the road slinging barbecue at biker swap meets, fairs, and festivals. His travels armed him with lots of information and inspiration that he put into action when he opened the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, a genuine honky-tonk blues and rib joint. The menu reflects John's own unique barbecue style, which combines traditional pit smoking with distinctive BBQ sauces. This book, John's first, is the result of years of passiondriven creative cooking, an abiding love of the blues, and a staff and clientele who live for barbecue.
