Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Anniversary to the love of my life! 8 years ago today we chose. And everyday since we have continued to choose each other, choose love, and choose happiness. 8 years of you encouraging my shenanigans, dance parties, prioritizing family, supporting each other in our work and lives, and making sure we see the joy in each day no matter how hard things get. From Mississippi to the Maldives, Virginia to Vietnam, Ponchartrain to Paris, Georgia to Geneva, there is no one else I would want to experience life and be on this journey with. Your love has made me stronger and I’m better because of you. Happy Anniversary, Stephen, I love you. Keep the party going ❤️🥂🎉🤘🏽 #anniversary #love #lovers #bestfriend

The best part of this last trip to Paris was having my mom and sister join me! 🤗 My work trip happened to fall during my beautiful, darling sister @jcheatham’s birthday so why wouldn’t we make a trip out of it?! And since I was actually there for work and she’d be solo a lot of the time, why wouldn’t we ask our amazing mother to come?! There was lots of wine consumed, too much Champagne, loads of cheese, and a few salads 😂 We café-ed (it’s a verb), explored neighborhoods, saw a few sights, and spent time around the table talking like we used to. So much fun was had, even the jet lag couldn’t keep us down. It was all very last-minute, and almost didn’t happen, but we made it happen, and the point was we got to spend time together, just us. Spending time irl can be hard when you all live in different cities, and have different lives. But time together is precious, and reminds us how important we are to each other, and how loved we are. Happy birthday Jacqui! May this year bring all the love and goodness you deserve. Thank you Mom for the shenanigans, unconditional love, and always being ready to party. My heart is so full 💗🤗 #family #familytime #love #birthday #paris

I’m a pretty adventurous eater but the team @foodnetwork really tested me on this episode! I love caviar, and I love sitting in the judges’ chair, but snail caviar?! Spoiler alert…not bad! If only that were the craziest thing I had to try that day 😂 Catch me judging alongside @conantnyc @brianmalarkey hosted by the one and only @thetedallen Tuesday, May 13th at 8pm – “Snail Caviar Dreams” Lifestyles of the talented and the chopped! Four chefs focus on making outstanding dishes from a crazy mix of ingredients in the appetizer basket, including escargot pearls. Then, a super-sized item in the entrée basket could provide a crunch the chefs need for their dishes, and a creepy dessert ingredient is a scary sight. #chopped @foodnetworkchopped

Spring veg season is so awesome and so short! The best way to keep the party going (IMO) is to pickle the young produce you can get your hands on. When I saw @blackforager talk about pickling magnolia blossoms it reminded me of Myoga, or “Japanese ginger” buds that I love but don’t see often. I started testing last season with petals but this year got my hands on some buds that hadn’t opened yet! I didn’t want to take advantage of the owner’s generosity (want to be invited back next year) but got a nice amount without compromising the beauty of their scenery. Simple pickling liquid 2c rice vin, 1.5C H20, .5C sugar, 1T kosher salt and simple aromatics that echo and enhance the magnolia flavor. I’m going to let these sit for a week and will report back with their progress in my stories! #springtime #spring #pickling #quickpickle #simplerecipes
You tell me “festive cocktail attire” in the springtime and I am showing up in verdant green and fish scale sequins! 😂🌿🪩Errrrbody came out last night to celebrate the opening of @maisonpasserellenyc at the beautiful new @printempsnewyork 🤗 Huge congratulations to @gg30000 and @kenthospitalitygroup on this beautiful endeavor. Now I have a reason to come downtown and can’t wait to visit often! I was so busy excitedly catching up with so many people that warm my heart that of course I forgot to take pictures of 95% of my night, but I got these moments of joy! 🙌🏽 Makes me think we need a serious industry night get-together soon! Who’s hosting?!
Hi Besties! First, a disclaimer: I am not French, and my accent when pronouncing these streets and stores is going to be painful for those that are 😉 But I digress… I want to share my favorite street in Paris’s 7th, Rue du Bac. Specifically Rue du Bac between Boulevard Raspail and Rue de Sèvres. Yes, Le Grande Épicerie has everything under one roof, but each of the shops along this street represent a small, locally owned business that specializes in that one thing. The quality is amazing, and the people care about their products and are so excited to share them with others that do too! This is how I get to know a city, and I’m so glad I found my way to this street. Beyond the places I’m showing here, there are boutiques, shoe stores, cafés, restaurants, and countless other places to stop in. If you’re going to Le Bon Marche I highly recommend strolling down this street before/after. Do you guys want to see more of my favorite places in Paris? Lmk in the comments! #chef #consulting #worktravel #bleisure #consultant
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms (and single dads raising kids alone)!! My mother is the greatest human being I know and I’m grateful everyday for her (and apologetic for having been an a**hole teenager)! She is special, and continues her lessons as the best Grandma to my niece and nephew. And while I’m still tripped out to see MY sister @jcheatham has children, she is such an amazing mom (and person) and I’m so proud of her 🤗💗💪🏽 Shout out to all the amazing women I’ve been fortunate to know and benefit from their grace…Ruby Cheatham-Cannon (my Great Aunt), Lula Cheatham (Great Grandmother), my MIL Dr. Doris, my SIL and new mom(!) Brooke, my dear friend @ritajammet Love and appreciation for all you do ❤️ #mothersday #mom
