The World is Your Oyster
A few weeks ago, I found myself in the Northeast, an area I have explored very little. This region never really appealed to me as much as other places like the Southwest or Pacific Northwest. Fortunately, a recent opportunity to document Chef Rasheed Philips’ journey to Stonington, Connecticut, for The Roost Festival allowed me to explore more of the region. Our first stop — harvesting oysters with BonApetite’s very own Brad Leone and Newfoundland’s Jeremy Charles.
The Roost Festival
The Roost Festival is New Englands Love Letter to Fall. The event takes place at the Stone Acres Farm in Southeast Connecticut and headlines names like Brad Leone, Andre Mac, and Rasheed Philips. The musical act, TALK put on a show and the whole event culminated in a house party at the 17th-Century house late into the night.
Moving Mountains
Meandering through the mountains led me to one of my favorite spots — Wayah Bald in the North Carolina section of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Never Leave Home Without It
A few years ago I got stranded in a remote area of the Colorado mountains. I decided to visit Wheeler Geological Area and came back to a dead battery in my Jeep Wrangler. This is when I was introduced to the NOCO Boost Jump Starter and now I never leave home without it.
