His wife posted the news on his Facebook a little earlier this morning. I know that he will be missed by many on here, especially the foodies.
FMB was one of the first people to really welcome me on here when I first joined and started posting regularly. I never met him in person, but he was one great guy and a fellow grammar Nazi.
:-)
I'm sure his wife would appreciate any thoughts or prayers.
RIP, Fire Me Boy!

2. I’ll never cook a steak or pork chops unless I have 24 hours for it to sit salted and peppered in the fridge. That’s creates an amazing seal and much juicier cuts when eaten. That was a game changer when he discussed that technique.
Can someone link one of those? I just started doing the burger cast iron and it's awesome.
Hope he was at peace and may those who loved him find solace in their memories of him.

FMB is one of a few I would call a friend on CP. He gave me crap about cooking with package gravy and this and that but I really didn't care, a lot of it was good natured fun. I'm gonna miss that guy, RIP bud, see you on the other side.
