We think that our staff is the best in the business (okay, okay, we are a little biased), but the JBG family hails from all over the place and covers the gamut in talents and interests. We love sharing events, adventures, and side projects that inspire and excite our JBG-ers (food-related or not) with the community. Check out the staff-curated list of favorites below!

Scott (Staff Photographer) - There is a hilarious and touching play happening this weekend and next at Hyde Park Theatre. It’s called Small Mouth Sounds, written by Bess Wohl and produced and directed by Mark Pickell with Capital T Theatre. One of the actors, Jason Phelps, was just interviewed on my podcast, Austin Art Talk. It’s a great episode. Please check out the play, and listen to the interview here!

Nate (Delivery Driver) - Been spending most weekends riding my bike and chillin' with my dog Rocko (Texas Heeler)! Some good parks to check out in Austin if you ride or skate: House Park and Mabel Davis Park.

Lucas (Delivery Driver) - I just got a new canoe! I love it, and I hope to get a big straw hat soon too. Hoping to check out Snake Island this weekend with some friends.

Krishna (Operations Manager) - I recently built raised beds and a trellis with my 2 sons. The soil in my backyard is crushed concrete so raised beds were necessary for growing vegetables. We are growing cherry tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, peas, gourds, and watermelon.

Casey (Customer Service Extraordinaire) - I got married this year and wanted to recommend an amazing wedding photographer to anyone who is currently looking for someone to capture their celebration! Bill McCullough is an Austin based photographer with a very unique, creative style. He uses light and space to create beautiful, surreal photographs rendered in bright, vibrant colors. He also the master at improvising in the moment and capturing funny, odd scenes. His pictures feel like paintings and you can always find something new when you look again. Find more images on his site or his IG.

Andrew (CSA Line Manager) - Nikki and I went to Dallas last month's for the 13th Annual Texas Frightmare Weekend. Lots of good vibes, costumes, and rarer collectibles for the horror fan aficionado. It's a must for any person who's looking for a good time.

Ada (CSA and Marketing Manager) - I'm currently on vacation, but can't miss contributing to my favorite monthly post! Restaurante Chamicos in Tulum. Vacation! Fish! All the people in Tulum who are so nice.

Mike Mo (Wholesale Manager) - Just finished Homeland in its entirety. I love it so. This season of Billions is worth a watch, too. Also, Heydon Hatcher. She's great and writes this blog.
