   About us Camping and Tailgating are some of America’s favorite past-times, a time to relax and let go of the stresses that life dishes out. Many people think of an excursion into the forest or into the parking lots of the 'Big Game' as “roughing it,” of leaving the comforts of home behind. While ditching the big screen TV back home is part of the outdoor experience, ULTIMATE OUTDOOR COOKING leaves the hot dogs and freeze-dried pouches of powder behind as well in exchange for the choicest cuts of meat, the freshest vegetables and the most scrumptious fish. The good life, filled with mouth-wateringly delicious dishes prepared by the funniest celebrity chefs around! Comedians Pat Mac and Mike 'The Big Cheese' Faverman (Mac and The Big Cheese) venture into campgrounds, tailgates and any outdoor setting around North America to cook gourmet meals for total strangers who become “cast members” and a live “audience” for the humorous chefs as they trade banter, cooking techniques and tips, and recipe favorites. Mac and The Big Cheese share their knowledge and obvious love of food, creating a warm festive atmosphere for everyone to come together like a big family. Food and laughter, memories and friends…the ingredients to a happy life. Each volume of Ultimate Outdoor Cooking will focus on a theme, such as a health menu for the many people who like to eat well and watch their diet; purely organic meals; foods from various cultures; historical dishes cherished by our ancestors; regional favorites; experimental concoctions conjured up by the imagination; spicy dishes; desserts; appetizers; breads and pastas…the possibil ities are endless with great food and even better company.
