Listen in on an intimate, one-on-one conversation with a chef or restaurateur each week. Eli Sussman, a chef and cookbook author, interviews chefs and restaurateurs he admires about their childhoods, first jobs in food, and the paths that led them to become who they are today. From how it all began, to where they are now, and everything in between, this is The Line.
This week on The Line, host Eli Sussman is joined in the studio by Billy Durney of Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
After almost 20 years in the security and private protection field, during which he kept a close eye on some of the country's most public figures, Brooklyn native Billy Durney has fulfilled a longtime dream by taking the helm as pitmaster and owner at Hometown Bar-B-Que. Since first learning to smoke meat as a youngster during visits to his grandparents' cabin in rural Pennsylvania, Billy has spent years obsessing over his barbecue, traveling around the United States and abroad perfecting his techniques. Starting in the backyard, cooking for family and friends, he has now realized his lifelong passion for wood, fire and meat.
