My name is Matt H, but those who know me best call me Hendo.
I take my coffee black and Jack + Coke over anything on the right evening.
My dad taught me good music sounds a lot like Dave Matthews Band. Personally, I think Eric Church gives them a run for their money.
Like Annie Savoy, I believe in the church of baseball
And that football is way more fun on Saturdays.

Roots are in the vinegar based BBQ and cornbread of Western North Carolina.
Raised in South Carolina on mustard based pulled pork and shrimp and grits.
Stopped in Atlanta for a taste of the big city. Got married while I was there and then went to Rocket City, Alabama for some of that famous white sauce barbecue.
Learned of the many dangers of cayenne pepper in Nashville, Tennessee.
Currently putting Old Bay on just about everything in Baltimore, Maryland.

My hope here is to celebrate home cooking by providing cast iron cookware based recipes. Whether a quick meal for Tuesday night, a family dinner on Sunday, or showing off for friends on Saturday afternoon, preparing good food gives a center of gravity around your kitchen table. Well prepared food is a universal language, it can cut across awkwardness or unfamiliarity. It keeps you healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Cast iron cookware has been my pathway to preparing good meals with regularity, and I hope to bring others into the fold.

Y’all be good. Let’s get supper on the table.
