To Smoke or Not to Smoke? The Restaurant Brokers are taking on the topic loved by chefs as well as those at home.

This Week’s Guests:
Chef Linkie Marais
Beauty queen, award-winning baker and grill master are all extensions to her title, making Linkie Marais more than your average chef. With a love for exploring, cooking and the outdoors, her will to grill stems all the way back to her unique blend of South African and Southern roots. Born in South Africa, Linkie was raised in the kitchen. With a lack of abundant fresh ingredients, she inherited her mother’s creativity, utilizing whatever they had available to create fresh and original meals.
Immigrating to the U.S. in 1999, Linkie and her family settled in Tupelo, Mississippi she obtained a degree in Culinary Arts from Mississippi University for Women. She held various pastry and executive chef positions. In 2012, Linkie accepted the opportunity of a lifetime to compete on Food Network’s hit series, Next Food Network Star.
Her experience on the show was, in her words, “crazy”. “It’s like driving a fast car—fun but unpredictable.” It forced her to push her limits and take creativity to a new level. After discovering her love for grilling
