Memorial Day BBQ: Chef Kelly Macdonald’s favorite barbecue recipes
May 22, 2013 9:32 am • Michal Nissenson
Memorial Day is the unofficial opening date of barbecue season. For Chef Kelly Macdonald, executive chef for the Napa Valley Wine Train, this is time of celebration. “To me, American barbecue is an art,” he said. “It doesn’t always include a sauce. Rather, it allows a different perspective of the food to be experienced on a blank canvas that is the grill.”
Macdonald, who has been cooking aboard the Wine Train for 20 years, said that he is now accustomed to cooking in small spaces, which can come in handy when camping.
He loves grilling and would grill almost anything. “During citrus season, I cut oranges in half and grill them face down. That creates a wonderful reduction, which can be the base for different sauces and dressings.”
