"From the same flavorful fountain of success that brought us The Blue Room, East Coast Grill, Jake and Earl’s Barbecue, Inner Beauty Hot Sauces and several cookbook collaborations now comes Inner Beauty Spice Rubs."
"Chris Schlesinger, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, opened East Coast Grill, in Cambridge, in 1985. Originally from Virginia, Schlesinger considered his mission to spread the word to the Northeast about the difference between grilling foods and barbecuing. He spent a year sampling barbecue from Mississippi, Texas and the Carolinas before opening Jake and Earl's Dixie B-B-Q, also in Cambridge, in 1987. His new book is, 'The Thrill of the Grill'."
"Those who visit Jake and Earl's might ask where the name comes from. Mr. Schlesinger wanted to call it Jake's Dixie Barbecue because 'Jake is what older people in the South call young boys and it's my dog's name.' Ms. Wheaton wanted to name it for her father, Earl, a surgeon in New Jersey. They compromised."
