Early life and education
Goldwyn derives his moniker from his father, who jokingly labeled him after the character "Meathead" played by Rob Reiner in the 1970s television show All in the Family.[1] His interest in meat also came from his father who owned a butcher shop and worked as an inspector for the United States Department of Agriculture.[1] He originally studied journalism and photography at the University of Florida but left his senior year and moved to the Midwest. He later earned a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[1]
Career
Goldwyn began working as a wine buyer in the 1970s.[2] He wrote a wine column for the Chicago Tribune from 1978 to 1981, then for the Washington Post from 1982 to 1985. He later established the food and wine coverage in the early years of AOL.[1] He founded the Beverage Testing Institute, Inc, which created The World Wine Championships, World Beer Championships, and World Spirits Championships in the 1980s.[3] He has also taught at Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.[4]
Goldwyn founded AmazingRibs.com in 2005 as a response to a rib cook-off challenge from one of his neighbors.[5] He uses the site to teach cooking methods and recipes, debunk barbecuing myths, and test various equipment.[2] Goldwyn runs the website from his home in suburban Chicago, with more than a dozen different grills and smokers in his backyard.[5]
Outside of AmazingRibs.com, Goldwyn was elected to the Barbecue Hall of Fame in 2021,[6] and is the author of the New York Times Best Seller Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling.[7] It was named one of the “100 Best Cookbooks Of All Time” by Southern Living magazine.[8] His website has been archived by the U.S. Library of Congress Food and Foodways Web Archive along with about 50 other culinary websites.
