12:06Barbeque U!

Steven Raichlen- host of PBS' "Barbeque U!"- has been called the "Gladiator of the Grill". From chocolate chipotle baby-backs ribs to the best fruits to smoke on the grill, he teaches us about the three greatest letters in the alphabet: B-B-Q.

Guests

Steven Raichlen, Host of Barbeque U! on PBS; and author of "Raichlen on Ribs" (Workman)

12:31Beer vs. Wine

One owns an award-winning brewery. The other is head sommelier at a presitigious culinary institute. Both insist their respective beverages of choice exemplify the best in human ingenuity and artistry. So what pairs best with a summer barbecue-- a crisp pinot grigio or a cold lager. Kojo wades into a long-running and tasty debate.

Marnie Old, Director of Wine Studies, French Culinary Institute (New York City); co-author "He Said Beer, She Said Wine" (DK Publishing)
