From Garage to the grill

Shop Fed Recipes

This is real food for real life. Stuff you can cook at camp, throw together in the garage, or whip up when you're dead tired but still want it to taste like you gave a damn.

These recipes are built:

With simple ingredients
For big flavor
And meant to feed people who actually work

No fancy plating. No overpriced ingredients. Just meals that hold up, reheat well, and slap when you're hungry.

If it’s in here, I’ve made it, tested it, and stood by it. Some came from the road, some from old friends, some I made up when the fridge was almost empty.

So dig in. And if you’ve got one worth sharing — step up.

Working Mans Kitchen

The Grill

More than just meat on flame — this is where tradition, instinct, and a little smoke come together. These recipes carry the soul of backyard barbecues, roadside cookouts, and long nights on the road.
It’s about timing, patience, and knowing when to flip — just like life. Every cut tells a story, and every fire leaves a mark.

Sides

These aren’t afterthoughts. They’re the quiet strengths of the meal — steady, reliable, and full of character. Inspired by family tables, street markets, and long-forgotten recipes pulled from memory, these sides show how simple things done right can steal the show.
Because what stands beside you matters.

Garnish

Braised Pork Shanks

This is where flavor meets story. These aren’t just toppings — they’re the finishing touch that brings it all together. Born from travels, late-night experiments, and lessons learned around firepits and kitchen stoves from Michigan to Japan.

Every dash, drizzle, and bite here carries a blend of cultures and experience — not for show, but for impact. Because sometimes, the smallest detail is what makes it unforgettable.

Braised Pork Shanks

Salmon Bake with Roasted Vegetables

Braised Pork Shanks

Smoked pork shanks, gently braised in a rich East-meets-West sauce of soy, hoisin, mirin, and spices, finished with tender black beans. Deep, savory umami with a sweet-tangy glaze, perfect for serving hot with fresh scallions or sesame — comfort food with a bold, cross-cultural twist.

Salmon Bake with Roasted Vegetables

A hearty sheet-pan dinner that brings out the best of land and sea. Root vegetables and cauliflower roast until caramelized, then a salmon fillet seasoned with lemon-pepper salt is laid on top to finish. Simple, earthy, and packed with flavor — perfect for a cozy evening.

Bob’s Famous Chicken Soup

Built in two stages, this soup layers deep broth made from a whole chicken and vegetables with fresh additions of onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and cubed chicken. Finished with a careful touch of bouillon and Bob’s secret spice magic, it’s comfort in a bowl.
