"There&amp;apos;s a time and a place for burgers, ketchup, and paper plates. But there are also warm summer nights when the backyard grill has to anchor something more ambitious; when even the most accomplished pitmasters need to step it up and orchestrate a great outdoor dinner party with style. And that&amp;apos;s where Michael Chiarello comes in &amp;#x2013; the Northern California chef behind the grill-centric Napa restaurant Bottega and the new cookbook &amp;apos;Live Fire: 125 Recipes for Cooking Outdoors.&amp;apos; &amp;quot;The trick to throwing a terrific outdoor dinner,&amp;quot; says Chiarello, who entertains regularly around the open fire pit in his backyard in Napa, &amp;quot;is getting everything set up so you can be a guest at your own party.&amp;quot; You want to be drinking beer and talking to friends while calmly delivering a great spread to a well-laid table. Friends come to hang out with you, to enjoy your company, not just to watch you bolt back and forth between the Weber and the kitchen.The key to a Chiarello-style cookout lies in chef&amp;apos;s tricks like offering just one great, self-serve cocktail to set the mood without stressing yourself out; creating an easy-to-execute menu that still feels impressive and generous; and turning the grill itself into a social hub, to anchor the whole party. Most of all, it&amp;apos;s about making everything look easy: Chiarello breaks the evening down, with an easy-to-follow action plan that takes you from marinating the beef to sitting down with your own plateful."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
