Install day. With all the wear and tear I’ve put on our Trail Feast Gladiator over the past 3 years I learned upgrading my gear ratio to 5.13 was a critical move. So I reached out to a buddy of mine who is nationally known in the off-road community for extreme builds and installs to ensure I could get the most out of my rig especially when traveling back and forth across the country and taking the food curious deep into wild places to create epic meals.
Special thanks to Luke and his team at @hazzardfabworx & @caseycurrie for getting me dialed in.
Now it’s time to hit the trail again. Stay tuned for a follow up video on the difference it makes!!
Out here, under open skies and around the fire, you start to understand just how much has been given.
Today’s a quiet reminder that grace shows up in ways we don’t always see… in second chances, in the road ahead, in the people gathered around our table.
We don’t take that lightly.
Grateful for the opportunity to keep doing what we love, to share it with others, and to walk this path with a little more purpose.
Happy Easter from Trail Feast.
“Chad White has a rare gift, and it isn’t just the food — though the food absolutely delivers.
When we set out to build our Alton dinner series, the goal was simple: make it nothing like a stuffy winemaker dinner. More energy, more personality, more fun. Finding a partner who actually shares that vision — not just executes a menu — is harder than it sounds. Chad is that partner.
He works the fire and the room, touching tables, pulling guests into conversations, making a five-course open-fire dinner feel less like a catered event and more like a gathering with someone you’ve known for years. For our “Wine Camp” summer dinner, he showed up in vintage western wear he’d sourced from a local shop for himself and his co-chef. Nobody asked him to do that. That’s just Chad — he goes all in on the concept, brings the fun, and creates the energy wherever he goes. Weeks after the event, guests were still reaching out to tell us how much they loved the night. That kind of impression is hard to manufacture. With Chad, it just happens.
We’ve now had the privilege of hosting him out at Alton twice — most recently for our “Adult Summer Camp” Chef Spotlight Dinner — and what keeps bringing us back is the creativity and curation he pours into every menu. The food is bold, beautifully executed, and thoughtfully composed across every course. It’s not just impressive, it’s intentional. You can taste the consideration behind it.
There’s also something genuinely inspiring about watching someone step away from running restaurants to build something entirely, uniquely their own. As fellow entrepreneurs, we have deep respect for that kind of clarity of vision. Trail Feast feels like Chad in the best possible way — the adventure, the fire, the craft, the warmth. Getting to be a small part of that story is one of our favorite things about working with him.
If you have the opportunity to bring Chad and Trail Feast into your world, take it. You won’t regret it.”
