In a very exciting turn of events, The Hippo reached out to me for an interview regarding my food photography. The food editor, John Fladd, said that they try to feature a chef/restauranteur/foodie person on a weekly basis. I’m baffled that they chose me, but very flattered.
You can find my interview in the section called “In the Kitchen” in the July 4, 2024 issue. Check out page 26!

One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete.
Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it.
Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
Santa Fe Nachos from @micorazonmexicangrill. Yes there were chips under that huge pile of toppings! The interior is really beautiful with great murals. #nhdining #mexicanfood #nachos #nhfoodie #603eats #nheats #ediblenh #nhflavors
Yesterday was my 47th birthday and also our 21st wedding anniversary so we went out to eat! We tried @stashboxnh on Elm St and it was fantastic. Religion & Politics is the name of the cocktail and it has mezcal, so you know I’m a fan. Great place and we both agreed we’ll be back!
