Selecting the right cut of meat is a lot like picking the right Bourbon, says celebrtiy Chef Michael Symon.

We haven’t heard this comparison at BourbonBlog.com, but it makes sense as this Iron Chef describes the nose, mouthfeel, and color in the video above .

Look for creamy white chicken, but deep darker colors on a Bourbon.

Chef Symon and Knob Creek Bourbon have teamed up for the Knob Creek Meat Master Class Video Series to refine your grilling skills.

We’re bringing you the first episode here on BourbonBlog.com

Adding bourbon will be a part of each class, (we like that Chef Symon)!

He recommends setting proteins out of the frig for about  20 minutes to get to room temperature before grilling to ensure your meat cooks evenly.

    I’m a veggie eater but have friends who love meat. I bought a bottle of Knobs Creek just to use in some of the tasty sounding dishes you’ve shared. Thanks.
