The Meatwave is a summer barbecue series and website run by Joshua Bousel.
The Meatwave has grown into a full blown addiction since its humble beginnings in 2003, when it was no more than a tiny, cheap grill with a few people huddled around it at my (then new) Astoria, NY “cottage.”
I began hosting regular cookouts every other week during the summer, and after five years of that, I thought that I had something to share with the world about my (mis)adventures in grilling and barbecue, so started a blog to help spread the Meatwave gospel. This led to an extended stint as a recipe developer for Serious Eats where I was able to hone my cooking and food writing skills.
