Ted Reader
“Grilling over live fire involves all your senses. The sounds, smell, look and above all, the taste. It’s has the power to bring people together.”

Known as the “Godfather of the Grill”, his charm and fearless culinary spirit has led Ted to become an award-winning chef, author, food and product innovator. Ted has parlayed his passion for food into a culinary tour de force that includes more than a dozen cookbooks, food products, live culinary performances, TV and Radio cooking shows and appearances, a catering company, teacher and his newest venture BBQ restaurant owner of “The Joint” at the Eldorado Golf Club.

Known for his love pyrotechnics and fearless culinary spirit, it’s no surprise that GQ Magazine labeled him the “crazy Canuck barbecue kingpin.” The dude just loves to cook! Ted’s quest for creating “real food for real people” has seen this high-profile culinary barbecue guru demonstrate his flair for grilling in all venues from swanky ball rooms to the Pacific Ocean to a downtown Toronto parking lot.
He is the author of several cookbooks including Gastro Grilling which was awarded the Gold Medal in the Cuisine Canada 2014 Taste Canada Cookbook Awards.[2] Other cookbooks include: Beerlicious, The Complete Idiots Guide to Smoking Foods, Napoleon's Everyday Gourmet Grilling, Napoleon's Everyday Gourmet Plank Grilling,[1]and Napoleon's Everyday Gourmet Burgers which are Canadian best sellers.
Reader also has a line of sauces and products, called Ted Reader BBQ, featuring his signature spice Bone Dust and his Crazy Canuck BBQ Sauce. Today, he owns more than 75 barbecues, grills and smokers in all shapes and sizes and never goes anywhere without one in the back of his truck.
