Career

[edit]

Rainford is best known for hosting the TV series, License to Grill, which involves backyard cooking, entertaining, and barbecuing. Rainford is tasked with hosting gatherings at his home where he prepares a meal while sharing tips and tricks for cooking on a barbecue. The techniques shared range from typical barbecue fare, such as hamburgers, steaks, and kebabs, to more complex meals, including legs of lamb, hot smoking, and grilled desserts. His signature line from the show has been "look at those beautiful char marks!" [3]

On May 8, 2012, Rainford released his book, Rob Rainford's Born to Grill.[4]
