As we continue to celebrate National Grilling Month, we focus on the little league coaches who balance their love of the grill and baseball. Jose Jimenez is a master at the Caja China. His Cuban heritage plays a large part in this. From specific charcoal to seasoning and all kinds of meats including whole chicken, chicken wings, and whole pig. A stand out are his ribs. Season and set inside the smoking and steaming box for three hours. Play a hand of cul de sac wiffle ball or catch with his sons before a practice or a game, take them out then conquer the dinner table with incredible flavor. His three sons love these ribs paired with corn on the cob, black beans, and sweet potato fries!
