Marshall Bennett and the Chill Grille

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.

Restaurant History

A good salad is hard to find — even in California. Reliable Caesars and Cobbs colonize menus everywhere, as do ubiquitous piles of mixed greens dressed with vinaigrette. Beyond that, creative salads made with quality ingredients are still an exception. For too long, they were also the province of expensive, sit-down restaurants. In the last […]
