13 November, 2025 - National award-winning chef Jerry Bradley is bringing his passion for food, humor, and community to readers everywhere with the release of his new book, Pig Pirate: The Best Booty Around. Part cookbook and part memoir, the book blends Bradley’s French-trained culinary background with his deep love for BBQ, sharing recipes, stories, and lessons learned from a life in the kitchen.
Far more than a traditional cookbook, Pig Pirate: The Best Booty Around offers readers a unique mix of flavors and storytelling. With dozens of recipes for sauces, rubs, and smoked meats, Bradley shows home cooks and BBQ enthusiasts how to master the essentials of great barbecue. From his Honey BBQ Jerry Sweet sauce to his Famous Chicken Seasoning and Island Sweet BBQ glaze, each recipe is approachable, flavorful, and backed by years of professional experience.
Alongside the recipes, Bradley shares the personal journey that shaped his love of BBQ. A classically French-trained chef who once cooked for presidents, celebrities, and athletes, he found his true calling not in fine dining, but in the smoky pits of barbecue. The book also honors the memory of his late son Eli, whose legacy inspires Bradley to use food as a way to connect with others and give back to his community.
“BBQ is more than food, it’s family, it’s tradition, it’s laughter, and sometimes it’s healing,” says Bradley. “I wrote this book to share not just recipes, but the stories and people that made them matter.”
With its lively mix of humor, expertise, and heart, Pig Pirate: The Best Booty Around is perfect for BBQ lovers, cookbook collectors, culinary students, and anyone who enjoys a good story alongside a good meal.
