About the Author

Big John Youk can fix a car and a great meal. He began as an auto body technician in the garage of his own body shop. Five years later he was hired as a jackman by Grand National stock car team owner James Hylton and began working with some of the best drivers and teams in racing including Hendrick Motorsports and team Sabaco, owned by Felix Sabates. After working in garages and on racetracks, eating nothing but bologna sandwiches, he decided it was time to fire up the grill. He proposed cooking for NASCAR teams. Fifteen years later Big John’s grilling is a favorite among teams and drivers including Wally Dallenbach Jr., Dale Earnhardt Sr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Robby Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Sterling Marlin, Joe Nemechek, Kyle Petty, Jimmy Spencer, and Michael Waltrip. Big John continues to cook around the track, grilling for Competition Tires East, the east coast tire provider for Goodyear Tires. He lives outside of Philadelphia with Dot, his girlfriend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Youk!, February 6, 2006
By 
C. Smith (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Big John's Speedway Grilling (Paperback)
I got this book for Christmas and have had to keep buying them for all the friends who saw mine! I am a cookbook reader, and this book is FUN--lots of great pics, funny stories, and one great recpie after another. This guy is a no-nonsense cook who sounds like he'd be a riot to sit across the picnic table from--probably more stories where those came from! When my grill thaws out, I'll be working my way through the chapters--but I can already vouch for the lemonade!

5.0 out of 5 stars Redneck Recipe Extravaganza, January 19, 2006
This review is from: Big John's Speedway Grilling (Paperback)
Got this book as a stocking stuffer. Even though there's snow on the ground, I find myself thumbing trough the book trying to figure out which recipe will inaugurate my grill come springtime.

Great book for racing fans or grill fans, and if you're both...It's a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats, January 18, 2006
This review is from: Big John's Speedway Grilling (Paperback)
Cool stories from the track, better recipies. Having not gone hunting in a few years I feel the need to dust off the 30-06 to get a true representation of the "Bambi Burgers". Lots of great photos, and very humorous inside bits about Kyle. The story about the ice cream had me rolling.. Glad everyone still has all their fingers.
I ordered a couple extra copies as gifts for some of my more redneckish friends, but my attorneys wife picked it up and wanted to try some of the recipies herself .. so I guess there is something for everyone.
Color coded chapters make things easy to find.
Heck of a grill book, should add a bit of spice to my barbecues.
