His work has appeared in three volumes of the "Best Food Writing" collections as well as the sixth edition of "Cornbread Nation." He's written for Food Network magazine, Men's Journal and Maxim. Tim has a fondness for fat, lazy beagles, fatty Texas-style brisket and long afternoons spent next to his smoker, surrounded by good friends, good music and lots of beer.
