When a New York Times story sent 57,000 people to his website in one day, he left publishing to launch the Red Truck Bakery in a 1921 Esso filling station. The bakery now has two locations, ships thousands of baked goods nationwide, and has earned praise from Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. He is a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance and the James Beard Foundation.
