Hey y’all — I’m The Oklahoma Food Dude!

​

Welcome to my table — where food is love and every dish tells a story.

I grew up in a home overflowing with love, laughter, and the smell of something always cooking. My passion for food started with my family and friends. The kitchen was our gathering place, and the meals we shared became the moments we cherished most. That’s why I’m here — to share those same recipes that have been passed down, celebrated, and loved by the people who shaped my life.

I live in the little lakeside town of Westport, Oklahoma, where I’ve spent years perfecting both old classics and new creations. This home is my kitchen lab — and now it’s yours, too. From here, I’ll bring you into my world of Garden-to-Table cooking, showing you how to plan, grow, can, and cook fresh produce with a whole lot of heart and flavor. I love gardening as much as I love grilling, and I’ll teach you how to do both — Oklahoma-style.

We’ll visit local farmers markets, meet the folks growing our food, and explore the richness of Oklahoma's fresh offerings. But we’re not stopping there.

We’re hitting the road — and the skies — to travel the world in search of authentic flavors and hidden gems. From street food in small villages to dishes prepared by world-class chefs, we’ll bring those global tastes right back to your own kitchen.

So pull up a chair, hit that follow button, and join us on this adventure.
Let’s cook. Let’s laugh. Let’s eat.
Because around here, it’s all about family, food, and love.
