Robert Rainford is a Canadian chef and host of "Licence to Grill" (LTG) on Food Network Canada and Discovery Home in the U.S. The format of the show involves Rainford hosting a get-together at his home for one reason or another, and preparing meals on his grills for the occasion. The different "occasions" provide the impetus for the food choices, and allow Rainford the opportunity to demonstrate different techniques. One such "occasion" involved Rainford and his guests watching the movie "The Godfather" on television. This gave Rainford the opportunity to prepare an Italian meal, and to impersonate Marlon Brando on camera. Another occasion involved a "70's party", which gave Rainford (who is bald) the opportunity to wear a 70's "Afro" wig.

Best known for his role as host of LTG he is now preparing to unveil his new brand "The Rainford Method".Fact|date=December 2007 Rainford is a proponent of grilling food to give them char marks.
