I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop,Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown.

Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for sharing good food with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
