It helped shape his professional cooking preference and through it all, he never lost sight of it or let it go. That's one of the many things that helped get him to where he is today. He talks about it in detail, and the scare that sparked his turnaround. How did a guy from Mountain Home who had always cooked in Fayetteville gain the favor of a James Beard Award winning chef that has worked in a Michelin-star restaurant?
