He was the host of the Food Network Canada show Licence to Grill (LTG), as well as Discovery Home in the United States and Asian Food Channel throughout Asia. Rainford has a get-together at his house for one cause or another, and he prepares meals on his grills for the occasion. The programme follows a similar pattern. In addition to providing inspiration for the culinary selections, they also offer Rainford with the chance to showcase various methods to the audience. 

Rainford and his friends sat in front of the television to watch the film The Godfather, which was one such “event.” Rainford took use of the chance to cook an Italian dinner and to imitate Marlon Brando on camera, which he enjoyed. Another occasion included a “70’s party,” which provided Rainford (who is bald) with the chance to don a “Afro” wig from the era of the 1970’s. Rob Rainford, well known for his position as host of LTG, is releasing his new book, “Rob Rainford’s Born to Grill,” in which he reveals his “Rainford Method.” 

Rainford believes that grilling meals to get char marks is a good thing. When Rainford says “Look at those lovely char marks!” it has become a trademark phrase in almost every episode of LTG. “Babies” is another term that Robert uses to refer to his meals. Every now and again you can hear him exclaim, “I’ma going to throw these babies on the grill!” When he refers to “these babies,” he is often referring to proteins such as chicken, pig, salmon, tuna, shrimp, squid, cattle, duck, and other types of meat.
