For this issue, we were once again busy traveling, mainly in Europe. We looked over people's shoulders at their grills and behind the scenes. For example, we went out on the lake with Chiemsee fisherman Philipp Böss to check the nets and talk about the future of commercial fishing. The Dietmers family lives in a completely different world with their Longhorns and Quarter Horses. One might think of Texas, but Nimsreuland is located in the Eifel region.
Our editor Matthias Grenda brought back a rather controversial report from Sardinia. There, a traditional tuna hunting method is combined with a culinary festival. On one side, a joyful culinary experience, on the other, a slaughter. It's best to form your own opinion on this.
In June, it was time to visit spoga. For FIRE&FOOD, this has been a must-attend event from the very beginning. Here, the grill industry and trade from all over the world meet, exchange news, and present or see and evaluate the innovations for the upcoming grilling year. We show what's coming and where the journey is heading in the magazine.
Come to the FIRE&FOOD BBQ WEEK in Cologne in September! Be our guest at the Plancha European Championship, get to know the people behind the grill brands, and enjoy the best grilling and BBQ. We look forward to your visit. More information can be found at: www.bbq-week.de And one more thing: Please take part in our reader survey. Because we would love to become even better for you.
