Welcome to a step above the rest, Rockwood Lodge……❄️🏔️💎🌲💨

It’s difficult to decide where to begin with this unbelievably magical location, so let’s start with sunrise.
Sunrise is an event to look forward to everyday when i have the pleasure of gracing these halls, and one of the best views is right out my kitchen window.
This awe inspiring experience, watching the brushes paint the sky with oranges, yellows, reds….. and finally blue, will forever change how you start your day. ( Katie Hendricks🥷)

Holy SmokeStacks🍖🥩🍗🥓🍔!

Has anyone else experienced what Kyle Bryner and the Blue Hound Barbecue crew have going on?!
Let me tell you….. amazing doesn’t cut it🫢
Chasing sunrise, I find my self in Dillard, where the smokestacks are getting going and meats being loaded. This morning I missed Kyle 😴😁but still got to chat with Carl, a beyond experienced, talented, knowledgeable and hardworking pit legend in this Appalachia region. He was telling me about this special that Kyle was talking about running…something to do with “The Money Muscle”💰🐖
That’s all I’m going to give you for now…….
Or, you could make your way to Bluehound Barbecue and find out for yourself.

Get cookin Kyle!

Alright, this is a good one……. Chefs.
Truly filling the palate to become a well rounded, educated and experienced chef requires the time and ability to be able to explore different types of cuisine, techniques and learn about exactly what the field of culinary arts can offer, which can be difficult to squeeze in. Chef Rich Rosendale, CMC, 1 of 69 Certified Master Chefs in the US, and his Rosendale Collective are incredibly valuable resources to further your culinary career. Learn with the best.
