What I’m Working On & Where to Find Me 🔥

As the market takes a pause, I wanted to share where I’m at and what I’m building next.

I’m excited to say I’ll now be working at Firetender here in Manteo. This role gives me the space to focus fully on food, people, and something I really believe in.

My goal is to help establish Firetender as more than just a place to eat — but as a spot for community, good food, and real fellowship. A place locals feel comfortable bringing friends, where conversations happen, relationships grow, and you always know what you’re going to get when you walk through the door.

There’s a lot I’d love to do here in the future — ideas centered around food, events, and bringing people together — and I’m looking forward to seeing where this chapter leads.

If you’re looking to grab a bite, come see me at Firetender. Same standards, same passion — just a new kitchen and a new opportunity.

Appreciate y’all always. Hope to see you soon.

Market Update 🦆

After a lot of thought, we’ve made the decision to close the market for now.

I’ve taken on a new role that needs my full attention, and to do it right, something had to give. This move isn’t a step back — it’s part of setting up something even better down the road.

Thank you to everyone who supported us, shopped local, and believed in what we were building here. This isn’t goodbye — just a pause while we focus on the next chapter.

Stay tuned. 💛
