I think there must be a little bit of Will Rogers in me ’cause I never met a “chef” I didn’t like. Trey is no exception. We had fun with him in the studio…particularly when he showed us how he grows fresh sprouts. I won’t spill the beans on his secret but I’ll let ya know you already have what you need to do it in your own home. It literally was surprising.

Here he is, and here’s his “arugula, chicken liver, biscuit, boiled peanut, bacon vin” dish. There’s certainly good stuff to be had at The Farm House in Nashville—I witnessed it in person.

What fun it is to work with a smart entrepreneur—even more fun working with a smart entrepreneur with fantastic burger skills. That’s Dallas Shaw and he’s behing Hoss Loaded Burgers here in Nashville. We spent a fun day with Dallas and his burger making skills to capture a few of his featured creations. Here are some of the results from out shoot.

The Brick House

The Jackalope

The Hoss itself!

Did I mention that Hoss Loaded Burgers is a food truck? Yep, you can find these tasty works around town here in Nashville. Go find ’em at www.hossburgers.com and test your burger eatin’ skills!

Some fun work we got to do for Diabetes Forecast Magazine recently.

Is February almost over already? What?…March is almost over? Where is 2013 going? What?…it’s 2014!!? Time is flying.

I’m not really sure how my brain works, and I’m not sure I’d be up for getting a professional diagnosis either—I’m content being nuts. I’ve been having fun with my boys as we play with words. At least I’m having fun…my boys probably consider it abuse…or dare I say, pun-ishment. I enjoy pointing out the contrast between what we hear and what we mean.

I was struck with this idea of “tie” food a while back and below is how it finally manifested itself.

A big thanks to my crew for being talent for these Thai Food portraits and for putting up with my crazy ideas—you know you’re enablers.

There’s an old drug store on Main Street in Franklin that has been converted to a wonderful restaurant. That’s Chef Keith West’s domain. He came to the studio for a short visit to allow us to shoot (and taste…but don’t tell anyone) his Bao Bun Pulled Pork Sliders.

Thanks Keith! I’ll see ya soon…I always love an excuse to visit downtown Franklin.

It’s fun to be able to exercise my passion for typography…such was the case on a recent shoot. Thanks to the adventurous team over at Planet Smoothie we were able to do some neat typographic ideas with fruit. Yes, playing with food always makes me happy.

Now I’m ready for doing headlines with fruit. Hmm…serif or sans serif…what shall it be?
