Hi, I’m Dean – the guy behind Mr. Tasty.
Welcome to Meet Mr. Tasty, where the love of meat takes center stage. From perfectly grilled steaks to slow-smoked ribs, this is where meat lovers gather for bold, satisfying recipes that deliver every time.
I create each recipe you see here – I cook it, photograph it, and write it up to make sure it works in your kitchen, just like it does in mine.
Who I Am
Born and raised in San Francisco, I grew up surrounded by incredible food, but I always found myself drawn to the rich flavors of meat cooked right – whether over open flames, low and slow in a smoker, or sizzling hot in a skillet.
My kitchen is fueled by curiosity, big flavors, and a serious respect for quality cuts.

Why I Started
Before launching Meet Mr. Tasty, I was always the one in charge of the grill at gatherings, crafting burgers for the block, or slow-roasting pork shoulders that had everyone asking for seconds. Eventually, I decided to take that love and turn it into something bigger – a place to share those recipes with you.
This blog is built for people like me – home cooks who value flavor, who cook for their families, their friends, and themselves with pride.
Let’s Connect
Whether you’re a backyard BBQ regular or just learning to cook your first steak, you are welcome here.
