Surprise! We opened a new restaurant in Kinston today. Introducing 🟠🟣THE COUNTER 🟢🟡@chefandthefarmer. We’re open Thursday – Sunday 12-8. Come see us!
You think you know a thing, until you really get to know a thing. I’ve cooked for more than 20 years professionally and thought I knew a little about olive oil. But several weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the olive harvest at @corto_olive in Lodi and my mind was blown. I’ve always been of the opinion that everything culinary, especially olive oil, is just better in Europe. But my time with the corto folks proved otherwise. These smart people have taken a centuries old process and improved upon it. Believe it or not, the freshest, tastiest most vibrant olive oil you can buy is available right here, grown and harvested and pressed domestically in California. Thanks again for a wonderful trip, @corto_olive. And for those of you who aren’t so lucky to find yourself in their olive grove, go get yourself some quality oil at corto-olive.com.

Oui! Chefs! 🧑🍳 There’s a new pastry queen in town and she’s already overworked and underpaid AND IT SHOWS. @chefandthef @tinatootinturnip
Christmas came early for me this year with a brand new @roccofridge in my guest house. And even better, this one comes with a subscription to @lasjaraswines, one of my favorite low intervention, natural wine makers. This baby can hold up to 27 bottles, slim or fat cans, has 2 temp zones and a 10 year warranty. If you need me, I’ll be posted up at my guest house staring at a wall after a busy weekend of opening The Counter @chefandthefarmer. How soon is too soon to open the wine? Asking for me.
You might be surprised to learn that Salt-N-Pepa, Queen and Eminem are the three artists I chose to explore songs that are significant to my life… but I’m full of surprises as you should know by now. Go find @threesongstories wherever you get your podcasts and give it a listen! Thanks for having me on, friends.

Looking for a little comfort in bowl form? Introducing Butterbean Stew with ditalini pasta. Just heat, sprinkle with rosemary and Parmesan bread crumbs, and get cozy. Blankets and a couch corner encouraged. Stocked in a fridge near you.
I geeked out a little about cast iron in my latest for @gardenandgun. “In fewer than a hundred years, the act of cooking at home has evolved from obligation to measured burden to a weird kind of luxury, and our relationship to the most American of cookware has progressed alongside it. If my grandmother was in an unfulfilling arranged marriage with her cast iron, and my mom found herself newly (and happily) divorced from it, I am in a long-simmering, rewarding polyamorous relationship with mine.” Read it at the link in my bio.
