Rob Rainford is a Canadian chef, author of Rob Rainford's Born to Grill and former host of Licence to Grill on Food Network Canada, Discovery Home in the U.S. and Asian Food Channel across Asia. The format of the show involves Rainford hosting a get-together at his home for one reason or another, and preparing meals on his grills for the occasion. The different "occasions" provide the impetus for the food choices, and allow Rainford the opportunity to demonstrate different techniques. One such "occasion" involved Rainford and his guests watching the movie The Godfather on television. This gave Rainford the opportunity to prepare an Italian meal, and to impersonate Marlon Brando on camera. Another occasion involved a "70's party", which gave Rainford the opportunity to wear a 70's "Afro" wig. Best known for his role as host of LTG he is unveiling his "Rainford Method". in his new book "Rob Rainford's Born to Grill". Rainford is a proponent of grilling food to give them char marks. Rainford's signature line in nearly every episode of LTG has been "Look at those beautiful char marks!" Robert also loves to refer to his food as "babies". [More at Wikipedia]
