Violent ice at Sobou

I love shooting with Abigail Deidre Gullo, bar chef at Sobou. She makes her own giant ice balls. It's terrifying to watch.

Been farming long?

On November 4th, I was invited by my friend, the talented chef Ryan Hughs, to visit the Mauthes Dairy farm near McComb, MS. Also along for the ride were chef Chris DeBarr, Hillery and Ed (more chef types) and the inimitable Poppy Tooker, recording a segment for her Louisiana Eats radio show.

There were lots of cows, and beautiful pastures, and the Mauthes family was wonderful.
But my favorite part of the day was seeing the kids interact with their herd.
