Product Description:
Step aside Iron John-and pass the coleslaw. Welcome to the world of patio cuisine, where foods from the '50s meet the discerning tastes of the '90s. From Buzzomatic Coffee Coolers to Cracklin' Sugar-Charred Cowboy Steak, Backshack Blueberry Cornbread, and Gooey Mounds Sundaes, Patio Daddy-O brings back all the fun, spirit, and nostalgia of outdoor cooking with new twists on classic fare. Illustrated with full color photographs of vintage tablecloths, aprons, and other period essentials, and complete with valuable tips on barbecuing like a pro, Patio Daddy-Ooffers a lively look back for '90s fans- and makes a neat-o gift for Dad.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
This book has the best recipe for potato salad, BBQ chicken, and salsa!





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cute, but I don't really use it
I got this book as a gift. It was a cute book - something that brought me back to the days of "Dad Knows BBQ Best." Sadly, I don't really use the book too much.

As a cookbook: ok
As a cute gift for a dad who likes to cook: priceless



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Slab o' Fun!

I love how they take classics and give them a twist! ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - COOL!
Being an excellent cook myself, I read cookbooks more for ideas than anything else. This book not only gave me lots of ideas, it brought back memories of my Grandmother's cooking. Also, it wasn't filled with a lot of endless, useless, chatter.

This book has incredible graphics - 50's style. I've stood it up on my counter and everyone who comes over says, "Patio DaddyO!" Unfortunately, it hasn't inspired my husband to take over the tongs. Ah well. This makes a great gift for any ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Summertime BBQ Fun...
This is such a fun book, plus it has some great summer recipes (easy, too!)! It's even just a "fun" read for us "babyboomers", takes us back to the good old backyard bbq days with the family!
