Whether he's backyard grilling with his buddies before a Chicago Bears NFL football game or tailgating on a Southeastern Conference campus or simply enjoying a steak for two with his wife, Darryl entertains with festive style. Encouraged by his teenage daughter in 2020 to post a few meals on social media, this Midwestern dad now cooks for nearly three million followers.

Growing up in Chicago, Darryl learned by watching his mother prepare home-cooked suppers each night for his close-knit family of seven. After experimenting with menus of his own in college, Darryl enthusiastically became the family chef--all while serving as a sales executive for companies like Microsoft and Disney. With easy, homestyle dishes, from juicy smashburgers and rich pasta dishes to luscious grilled meats and reverse-seared steaks, you'll be hosting your friends in no time like Darryl--with a beverage, a big heart, and a resounding "R. U. Kidding Me?"
