What happens when a Midwest dad swaps booze for brisket and starts cooking his way into people's hearts?

Today's guest is proof that average doesn't mean ordinary.

He's building a lifestyle brand one recipe at a time. All right, y'all, welcome back to Tiggs Bits, where we stir the pot, serve the truth,

and occasionally get a little sauce on the microphones.

Today's episodes is a special one.

This is going to be fun. I've got somebody on who's doing it for all of the microphones. Today's episodes are special one. This is going to be fun. I've got somebody on

who's doing it for all of the right reasons. He's a father, a content creator, and a man who

decided to get sober, get healthy, and pick up a spatula instead of a bottle. And what started as a simple cooking channel, the average dad cooking channel, has grown

into something a lot deeper.

Brandon's not just making plates.

He's changing lives, starting with his own, from grilling outside in the Minnesota

cold to making Boudan

King cakes he's cooking with heart humor and hustle so before we jump in do me a

I live in southeast Minnesota. So I'm actually only about two hours south of Minneapolis.

It's a little small town. It's called Winona. It's a beautiful little area. We got a couple of lakes.

Mississippi Rivers in my backyard grew up playing on that.

So it's been a nice little town.
