Tom Perini is as cowboy as cowboy gets with his Southern charm and down-home ranch cooking. Perini began his career as a cowboy cook on his family's ranch in Buffalo Gap, Texas, combining two passions: ranch life and cooking. He worked through traditional chuck wagon recipes and developed unique dishes, and after years of cooking at the wagon, Perini opened up the Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap. He is the author of Texas Cowboy Cooking, a coffee-table style cookbook.
