Amazing Ribs Website
Maple Glazed Ribs Recipe from Amazing Ribs
Who has the most trafficked bbq website in the world? TheGrillCoach.com! Well…. No. It is Amazingribs.com. Amazing Ribs has been around since 2005 and it has educated more cooks than ever. So many people in bbq now whether its print or video was influenced by AmazingRibs.com. It is a website that is all about the science of grilling and bbq. It is the only bbq website that has a full time physicist to perform experiments about bbq. It also has a full time product review expert that provides “unbiased” and in depth product reviews. Anytime, I want good product review information, this is the place that I go.
Meathead Goldwyn
The founder of Amazing Ribs is Meathead Goldwyn, a former journalist and real wine professional. The story that I have heard him say many times is that he started the website based on “ego”. Well I mean, he was having a “friendly” competition with a neighbor about who can cook the best ribs. Mr Goldwyn, didn't find much on the internet and so he decided to start his own. I don't remember if who won the rib competition, but oh well. Meathead is winning now! I don't see that his neighbor started the most trafficked bbq website or was one of the 9 finalists this year in 2020 to be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame. I will go out on a limb to say that he will get in the BBQ Hall of Fame!
Meathead has a natural curiosity to see how things work when cooking. This has led to plenty of articles that he has done experiments with Amazing Ribs own, Dr. Blonder, where they determine what is happening with our BBQ and grilling meats. It’s very interesting like the article he wrote about the science of salt. He has many articles similar to this that are very educational.

Product reviews have become a huge part of this website. All reviews are published by Max Good, another part of the Amazing Ribs team. They do a great job reviewing smokers and they have a searchable database with over 500 cookers. Check it out here. There are extensive filters so you can find grills and smokers in different price ranges and different styles of cookers. Meathead frequently talks about all the grills and smokers he uses and it seems amazing to be able to cook on all different kinds of devices.

I keep mentioning hearing Meathead, like I talk on the phone with him regularly right? Well, unfortunately I have not had much interaction with Meathead. I listen to him when he is a regular guest on the BBQ Central Show with Greg Rempe monthly. Greg and Meathead have seemed to become good friends over the years and they have great chemistry when he is on. I have been listening to him on the BBQ Central show since 2014 and each month between now and then, I have learned a lot from him. He has also indirectly encouraged me to try out many different things like making homemade pastrami.
Meathead also has a best selling book available on Amazon called “Meathead, The Science of Great BBQ and Grilling”. I want to encourage you to get the book, I have it on my book. Check out the site Amazing Ribs.com and see what you think of it. Let us know at The Grill Coach.com what you like about that site.
