The Pitmaster's Podcast Rusty Monson & Anthony Lujan

Shaan, 
 

He is passionate about creating dishes that combine the warmth and flavor of home with the vibrant influences of Caribbean, Latin, and BBQ traditions.

Being raised in Sangre Grande, Trinidad, and Toronto, Canada, food was not only a means of sustenance but also a joyous celebration. I developed a deep appreciation for the rich and diverse flavors of my heritage. For instance, Sunday lunches typically consisted of BBQ chicken, fried rice, potato salad, and sliced cucumber with a dash of salt and pepper.

My recipes are a fusion of family traditions and personal creativity. From stewed chicken to savory empanadas and slow-cooked barbecue, I invite you to join me on a mouth-watering journey through my YouTube channel. Whether you want to recreate nostalgic dishes from your childhood or explore new flavors, my videos offer step-by-step guidance, helpful tips, and a whole lot of flavor-packed inspiration.

Cooking is not only about nourishing the body, but also about nourishing the soul. Let's cook up something special together and enjoy a delightful fusion of Caribbean zest, Latin flair, and BBQ goodness.
