Marshall Bennett is an all-American 14-year-old guy. He loves baseball, dreams of joining the military when he grows up…and is a phenomenal chef. Marshall has been cooking fusion barbecue for his appreciative neighbors two weekends every summer for the past 4 years. In his spare time he experiments with other fusion dishes and tinkers with flavored sunflower seeds for the local baseball teams to sell as fundraisers. A behind-the-scenes look at an extraordinary teenager whipping up some amazing ‘cue and sides for the block.
Toque is proud to present its first episode of “What’s for Dinner, America?”: Marshall Bennett and The Chill Grille.

Erika, how wonderful!
I especially love the video —
(hmmm….why can’t my kids cook like that?) Maybe if they keep reading Toque…
Congratulations!

So, can we convince them to open a franchise in my neighborhood? Wonderful video, and now I am starving for a wonderful fusion dinner! Congrats!

I love that he has the freedom to experiment and learn along the way! What a great example for other parents to get the children involved in cooking. FInding something a 14 year old enjoys to do and can learn budgeting as well is awesome.
