This year, I had the opportunity to attend the Holy Smokes Festival in North Charleston, South Carolina. Holy Smokes mission is to raise awareness and funds for families affected by pediatric brain cancer through the support of Hogs for the Cause. All donations will stay in Charleston to support MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House across the street.

A Saturday in November bought me face-to-face with the elite group of airmen, the US Navy Blue Angels. Their final show of the season bought them to Peachtree City, Georgia to wow a crowd of spectators. Today, I talk about my experience documenting a catering event for these amazing service members.

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the Northeast, an area I have explored very little. This region never really appealed to me as much as other places like the Southwest or Pacific Northwest. Fortunately, a recent opportunity to document Chef Rasheed Philips’ journey to Stonington, Connecticut, for The Roost Festival allowed me to explore more of the region. Our first stop — harvesting oysters with BonApetite’s very own Brad Leone and Newfoundland’s Jeremy Charles.

The Roost Festival is New Englands Love Letter to Fall. The event takes place at the Stone Acres Farm in Southeast Connecticut and headlines names like Brad Leone, Andre Mac, and Rasheed Philips. The musical act, TALK put on a show and the whole event culminated in a house party at the 17th-Century house late into the night.

Meandering through the mountains led me to one of my favorite spots — Wayah Bald in the North Carolina section of the Great Smoky Mountains.

A few years ago I got stranded in a remote area of the Colorado mountains. I decided to visit Wheeler Geological Area and came back to a dead battery in my Jeep Wrangler. This is when I was introduced to the NOCO Boost Jump Starter and now I never leave home without it.

Over the past weekend, the Blue Star Nutraceuticals supplement company decided to pay Netflix’s American Barbecue Showdown star Rasheed Philips a visit. The weekend resulted in an experience like no other in which he executed a pop-up event and a fitness video shoot.

A work trip to the Nation’s Capitol, Washington DC, was a perfect opportunity to explore The District. Washington DC offered plenty of sites and opportunities for photographs.

On Saturday, November 13, 2021, some of the USA’s greatest barbecue pit masters descended upon Charleston, South Carolina to serve thousands of patrons. The reason: raising money and awareness for the Hogs for a Cause charity in the battle against pediatric brain cancer.
