Chuck opens up about his journey from growing up in Browns Valley to becoming a beloved barbecue influencer, private chef, and soon-to-be cookbook author. He shares how a backyard passion turned into a full-time career, what it means to stay authentic in the world of brand sponsorships, and how food became his way of honoring his roots and connecting with others.
