Asian Smoke proves that barbecue doesnt have to be a monolith. It can be a colorful canvas. These recipes honor tradition but dont bow to it, folding in Thai curries, Vietnamese flavors, and Chinese home cooking with Texas meat and smoke. The result is thrilling. * Andrew Zimmern, host of Bizarre Foods, Whats Eating America, and Family Dinner * Asian Texas BBQ, what a phrase! The Curry Boys are three pals who play to their strengths, stay true to what they love, and embrace the spirit of collaboration. Asian Smoke is a wonderful book that emerges from their authenticity, intuition, and kinship. * Mason Hereford, Turkey and the Wolf, New Orleans, and author of Turkey and the Wolf * "Asian Smoke is a beautiful collection of recipes that displays the multicultural essence of the American spirit." * Winnie Yee, chef/owner, Smoke Queen BBQ, Los Angeles, and author of Chinese-American Barbecue * To know the Curry Boys is to love them, and yes, I have loved their food many times over. And now I can make it myself, thanks to their debut cookbook. Asian Smoke features bold cooking styles and flavor profiles from opposite parts of the world, each celebrated with approachable methods while honoring the root of all good food: family and friends. And as I thumb through these pages, all I can think is, Yep, I will be making that. * Arnold Myint, chef, restaurateur, and author of Family Thai * "Each year it seems like dozens of grilling cookbooks hit the market before summer, but none in 2026 have arrived with quite the heat of Asian Smoke. The debut cookbook from the team behind San Antonios Curry Boys BBQ provides Texas-barbecue know-how done with Southeast Asian flavor. Most recipes call for a grill or smoker such as brisket larb, smoked-chicken pho, red curry prime rib, and smoked-and-steamed dumplings but others can be made without, such as curry queso, fish sauce-glazed cheddar bay biscuits, and a Vietnamese-Cajun garlic butter seafood boil. This colorful compendium also includes essential tips for wet and dry rubs, condiments and DIY curry pastes, plus dessert recipes like calamansi pie bars and smoked Vietnamese-coffee bread pudding. If youre grilling out this summer, think beyond the basics with Asian Smoke." * Los Angeles Times April 8, 2026 * Andrew Ho, Andrew Samia, and Sean Wen share hilarious stories of how they met, how much they love playing hoops, and how the connections between Southeast Asian spices and Texas barbecue were just sitting there waiting to be discovered by a trio of mad scientists. Then they proceed to share just about every secret the cult-favorite restaurant has traded on since 2020. Asian Smoke offers exactly what I love in a cookbook. It makes me want to cook. It makes me want to learn. It makes me want to shop and discover new markets and ingredients. * Chris Chamberlain, Nashville Scene March 16, 2026 * "Barbecue is about telling stories through fire and smoke, and Asian flavors bring a whole new level of depth to that story. Think about the umami in soy sauce, the punch of ginger, the sexiness of curry, or the heat from Thai chilesall that balanced with good smoke and fat? Thats flavor heaven. These Curry vatos are bringing the smoke and heat con ganas!" * Ernest Servantes, The Pope of BBQ, Burnt Bean Co Barbecue, Seguin, Texas * Ill never forget my first bite of the Curry Boys smoked brisket with Thai green curry. My tastebuds were begging for more of the sweet, creamy, spicy coconut curry, while my brain called for more smoky, tender brisket, a double whammy of culinary system overload Id never experienced before! Asian-inspired Texas BBQ is here to stay. Its exciting, unpretentious, and fun, just like the two Andrews and Sean. If you want to capture that magic and bring it home, Asian Smoke is for you! * Frankie Celenza, Emmy Awardwinning host of Struggle Meals and author of Easy, Affordable, Tasty *
