My Favorite Photos

I shoot about 50,000 pictures a year across all the contests and events I judge. Every once in a while, I take a photo that really speaks to me. Here they are. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The meat cutting room at City Market in Luling, TX (November 19, 2012). This was really early on in my food blogging work, just in my second year. This was my first tour of East Central Texas, and my first visit to the historic City Market. The cutting room is in this little room in back, just large enough to squeeze in and call out an order. This photo was taken on my iPhone using a photo app with a heavy filter, which really brings out the character of the room.

Mr. Theodus of Hawk’s BBQ (Little Rock, AR, April 27, 2018). I love how even after all these years, he still squints from the smoke.

Hanging out with the Winningest Man in Barbecue, Myron Mixon at the 2021 Memphis in May competition (Memphis, TN, May 14, 2021). His son Michael took this picture of us using my camera. You can see his reflection in my sunglasses.

Unknown competitor (Columbia, IL, October 15, 2021). I love how all you can really see through that smoke is his hand on the grill.

The Thing About Fried Pickles

The thing about fried pickles is that you know they’re going to be hot. And you know that little cup of ranch dressing isn’t going to do it. You’re going to burn your mouth, your hands, and have hot vinegary dill pickle juice streaming down your chin and dripping onto the table. That’s just the way it is. And you don’t care. So you dive in, and burn yourself good. And it’s fantastic.
— review of Mustang Sally's in Perryville, AR
