Hello, I'm Chef Jennifer Lowry.
Welcome to my Culinary Gallery.
Today I present Ethiopia Meets Mexico—St. Louis ribs cooked entirely over a mesquite charcoal fire.
This dish is inspired by the shared language of fire and spice across cultures. I built a berbere-inspired rub using fenugreek, cardamom, clove, ginger, and layered chilies—bringing in both traditional warmth and Mexican influence with guajillo.
Instead of offset smoking, these ribs are cooked over live fire, allowing for direct heat control. You’ll notice a defined bark, an intentional char, and a structured bite with a clean pull from the bone—showcasing fire management rather than smoke dependence.
They’re wrapped and finished in a piloncillo guava BBQ and mesquite honey glaze—balancing spice with a deep, caramelized sweetness.
Alongside that, I’ve created a tatemado salsa verde inspired by chutney—using charred jalapeño, green onion, cilantro, and charred chayote—for brightness, acidity, and a subtle smokiness.
The chicharrón crumble adds texture and contrast to the dish.
Overall, this plate is about balance—heat, sweetness, acidity, and texture—brought together through controlled live fire and cultural connection
Thank you @grills_on_film @foothill.builders.mart for putting on such an awesome bbq competition and gathering this amazing community! To many more! Cheers! 🍻 @titus_smokers such an awesome plaque! See yah soon! 👑👸❤️🔥💯🔥 #Queenofthetailgate congratulations @tcb_takincareofbbq on first place!!

Just arrived in Florida from California and already back to learning. 🔥🔪 Only back here for a week until April/May.
My friend Spirit has been teaching me about knife forging, sharpening, and proper blade maintenance. He even made me a custom knife, which means a lot.
Grateful for his friendship, his patience, and the knowledge he shares. Spirit is a veteran and part of our military riders group — truly appreciate the time he takes to teach me.
Lots more to learn and lots more practice ahead.

Today was something special.
I came to the Hemet BBQ Cook-Off as a judge… but anyone who knows me and has gotten to, knows I can’t just stand there and watch fire burn without jumping in. 🔥
Next thing I know, I’m running two grills at once — a green egg smoker and a live fire grill — just cooking, moving, laughing, and completely in my element.
But what meant the most today wasn’t the food.
It was the people.
The guys out there made me feel seen, included, heard, and encouraged. They welcomed me into the fire like I had always been part of it. That kind of respect and camaraderie means more than I can explain. It means a lot to me especially because I am a woman fire cook that’s new back in home state.
This space — the smoke, the heat, the chaos of the cook — is truly my happy place. And honestly… it’s been incredibly healing.
I left today with a full heart, new friendships, and even more love for this craft and for the people.
Grateful for the fire.
Grateful for the people around it.
And already looking forward to the next cook. 🔥
Special shout to all of you. Much Love!
And thank you guys so much!

Cajun Mojarra Frita Using @carnesymariscosluis Tilapia @stalekracker_official Cajun two step seasoning, @getgraza high heat oil and all of it cooked over the open fire on a disco created by @chubbygrill_ . I topped it off with a picked red onion and lemon dressed cucumbers. This was absolutely delicious.

An absolutely beautifully tasting fish! Branzino cooked fast and hot over the live fire coals. Super tender and sweet and clean tasting finished with a charred lemon also used the @spanglishasadero_official all purpose seasoning butterflied and ready to cook. Absolutely next level tasting! Just one of the many things we cooked yesterday for our open fire collaboration with @chubbygrill_ x @chefjenniferlowry x @emberandspiceco

Story time. I broke my foot a YEAR ago. Business took a turn for the worst. I had to do 2 gigs. One the day after I broke my foot and a whole open fire cooking whole pig that same week. I interview for a competition at WSRE . I still showed up to do the dinner . I still showed up to do the open fire. I still showed up to do the interview… then I won 2 years in a row taking home judges/celeb chef and peoples choice. I was in so much physical pain. I should’ve rested but I just didn’t quit and I didn’t want to let anyone down. Business slowed down so much since my accident and now I am here across country building and building . I just continue to keep moving forward. Like what? Who even does that… I love what I do. And yes I literally do a whole dinner party the day after I left the ER. Crazy right. Hahahah
