INCREDIBLY excited for all of the amazing nominees at tonight’s 2022 @BEARDFOUNDATION Awards. I am also honored to cook tonight’s awards dinner alongside of the Executive Chef of @deathandtaxesNC , Lauren Ivey. Lauren’s contributions are delicious, and I’m thrilled to collaborate, and to celebrate her immense talent. Special thanks to Charlotte Coman for being #RoadBoss in her one-of-a-kind way of excellence and relentless attention to detail. The theme of dinner is mentorship, and I am so proud to cook with a crew who all mentor each other daily. #NCinthehouse #GatherForGood #commUNITY #CookOutLoud
