To be inspired… my home and upbringings in St. Croix and Vieques has served as my inspiration for so long. I wanted the world to see the beauty in our culture and foodways. As years would pass my love would infectiously grow as I learned about the maroons in Jamaica, Kalinago in Dominica and the ever so bountiful Taino nations in Haiti and Puerto Rico. I learned about the Seminole’s in Florida and how the Arawakan language was spoken on mainland America and even made its way to Charleston. I’m inspired… #inspiration #foodisart #foodisculture #chefdigby 🎥: @gabriel__stephen

WHAT A NIGHT đź’«
Thank you to @jbftasteamericaphx@chefdigby@lathaphx for such an incredible night celebrating food, culture & hospitality this past Sunday here at The Gladly.
We had a great time bringing together friends, family & our community to enjoy a menu crafted by @chefdigby@chefberniekantak and our team ❤️
Let’s do it again?
We are hosting the @beardfoundation Taste of America dinner here at The Gladly with @chefdigby - honoring the Taste of Twenty 25’ list of chefs to watch in the industry. We couldn’t be more excited to bring together two of our favorite chefs in the valley for one unforgettable night.
Solitude with an open fire. Pineapple piri piri and some beautiful gulf shrimps! As our industry became noisier with what’s suppose to influence I chose the path to create. To pursue something bigger than self and in hopes that through these efforts I can learn more about myself. Spearfishing brought me closer to the source however hunting in the West has brought me close to the man I’ve been striving to become. I created @basecamp_chronicles as an avenue to bring you all along on the journey of conservation and how it differs from preservation. With sustainability and Americana culture at the forefront. I look forward to exploring these Americas with you all! #chefdigby #basecamp #hunt #fish #dive
Puerto Rico gave me exactly what I came for.
Fire, salt air, and yelloweye snapper cooked barbacoa—slow, honest, no shortcuts.
This trip wasn’t about chasing trends. It was about standing close to the food, asking where it comes from, and letting the island speak before I do. Watching fish go from water to flame reminds me why I cook in the first place: foodways aren’t content—they’re living knowledge.
My goal moving forward is simple: travel more, listen better, and share the truth about how food is meant to be cooked, eaten, and respected. Not polished. Not watered down. Just real.
More islands. More fire. More honesty.
This is only the beginning.
