It always seems like the perfect plan: grill some nice cuts on a hot summer day, together with some cold beers and your best friends. But more often than not, the meat always tastes a bit disappointing. You might have tried to get a better barbeque, more expensive briquettes, or higher quality meat, without any real success. And yes, spending more money will sometimes help with getting better results while grilling. But how do you take it to the next level, so you can get smoked meat that roars off your plate with flavor?

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.
