Head north to Inman Square where Chef Chris Schlesinger takes a spin on traditional grilling with a $100 gift certificate to The East Coast Grill.  The spicy, smoky, cajun feel of The East Coast Grill is sure to energize the senses.  The food is equally bold and adventurous as Chris takes grilling to a whole new level.

Then go home and try it for yourself with your own autographed copy of his new cookbook "Let the Flames Begin:  Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Real Live Fire Cooking"  As the preface insists, lighting charcoal is not just cooking, it is a serious connection back to childhood, a kid's discovery of fire as well as the celebration of lessons passed on from Dad. Here is your opportunity to delve into just that.  The authors clearly love their work and their passionexciting collection. It doesn't hurt either that they are at once elegant and disarming.

So go ahead Let The Flames Begin!
