Everyone wants to get the newest and flashy car. All I ever wanted was an old school Bimmer. Keep it simple. As long as it takes. Props to @nathandorante for the confirmation šŸ’ŖšŸ¾ #E30 #E30lifestyle #E30daily #318is #vintagecarsdaily

There are some things that I keep personal and off of here. I like to deal with things the best way I know how to and it doesn’t involve the internet. However, a lot of my people are grieving and when it comes to grief, that is something that stays with you forever. It seems like time is one of the few things that teaches you how to cope. The only way through it, is to go the it. For me, art is one of the things that also gets me through, as well as experiencing activities that brought joy to those who can no longer experience it. Andrew Garfield said it best. ā€œI hope this grief stays with me, because it’s all the unexpressed love I didn’t get to tell her.ā€

I’m not letting go of the African Roots wine dinner with @cha_squared & @bintu.chs sponsored by @saveurmag during @chswineandfood . Pairing African food with African wines can be difficult but Cha made it easy. Especially when @chefbintou throws down in the kitchen. I’m glad I took notes and I look forward to another visit to Charleston soon. MUCH MUCH love to Cha on her @beardfoundation and @naacpimageawards nomination šŸ¤²šŸ¾

Take me back to last Sunday where one of my personal favorite experiences went down in Shelby NC at @oldnorthfarmwnc 5th Annual Fish Pickin. There’s not too many experiences I look forward to, so this was a treat for those who enjoy less fluff and organic, welcoming, and a nourishing good time. Open field, great music, great company, impeccable food, and great hospitality all around. The South truly is the heartbeat of America. Put this in a time capsule and take me back 😫

We at Kinfolk Kickback are definitely thankful for those of you who supported and attended our collaborative experience with @donluchiwines at Bubbles & Brine oyster roast. This isn’t a party, it’s a kickback. We heard your demands and we look forward to running it back this fall, but before we get to that, we have something in the fryer for you. Stay tuned but mark your calendar for our 5th of July Fish Fry šŸ˜‰

There’s beauty in the details, and the name @sho.chicago speaks for itself. @adam_in4 , @mari.katsumura and their team are making quite the impression with their presentation and execution. Grateful to have captured this for @infatuation_chi šŸ“ø @jonathancooper

The Laotong šŸ“šŸŒæ Jeremy Buck, @jeremyrbuck , owner and drink maker at Coterie in Charleston, was inspired to create this tea-infused pisco cocktail when he first tasted a dish dressed with a strawberry, tomato, and balsamic reduction. ā€œI love the way the earthiness of the tomato combines with the sweetness of the strawberry and the acidity that brings it all together,ā€ he says. While the vinegars brighten up the drink, pisco enhances its fruity and earthy notes. ā€œThe chamomile helps to calm and bring the whole cocktail together, while the use of shrub in a tea drink is an unexpectedly bright and refreshing take,ā€ he adds. - āœļø @carolineoncocktails , Featured in @imbibe šŸ“ø: @jonathancooper šŸ“ Coterie, Downtown Charleston #CoterieCharleston #CharlestonEats #CharlestonCocktails #HolyCityEats DowntownCharleston CharlestonSC EatLocalCharleston CharlestonBars CraftCocktails CocktailCulture ImbibeMagazine Pisco PiscoCocktail SummerCocktails CocktailOfTheDay DrinkLocal FoodieCharleston BarLife Mixology HospitalityLife CoastalCuisine RestaurantMarketing Drinkstagram CocktailLovers FreshIngredients

Prosecco weekend in Charlotte with @donluchiwines is approaching. On April 10th from 6pm - 10pm we at @kinfolkkickbacks will be hosting Bubbles & Brine Oyster Roast in collaboration with Don Luchi. We figured why not bring Charleston to Charlotte? Seriously, where can you go to be CASUAL CHIC, and have UNLIMITED OYSTERS & PROSECCO for $100? Don’t eat oysters? Thats cool because we’ll have some fried chicken on deck to compliment the bubbles šŸ˜ We’re keeping this simple. Pull up, eat, drink, and enjoy fellowship. Link In Bio

The 20 Years at @chswineandfood ’s Table honored the foundation while giving flowers to the new. You can’t talk about legacy when you don’t understand all elements that make up one’s identity. As a West African of the Carolina’s, Charleston holds a special place in my heart and it’s been an honor to document this dinner that highlights the work of legends and the future of the city. This is just a few compared to all of those who have and continues to contribute to the region’s culinary scene
