Hey everybody! I know I've been away for quite a while as I've been quite busy, and as of June 1st of last year, Im happy to say that I've completed the acquisition of TexaFrance, a food manufacturing facility (a co-packer) where I make BBQ sauces, hot sauces, drink mixes, salad dressings, flavored honeys and jams, and all kinds of other stuff for other people/companies. I purchased the company in order to get my award winning salsa back on the market again, and as of 2 weeks ago, I've started my production of it and I'm now working on getting it into stores as well as getting it on Amazon too. If you ever decide you'd like to get your own BBQ sauce, hot sauce or other item made for you like Jeff Phillips does, feel free to reach out to me and I'll see what I can do to help you!

I'd also like to publicly thank my good friend tx smoker tx smoker with his advice and encouragement as well as reaching out to me to get together from time to time since I also broke up with my girlfriend last year too who was with me and helped me to recover from my accident where I died.

Here's some pics and videos of my salsa being made:

I'm still cooking for the homeless in Austin, TX every month where there are 5 Sunday's and have been able to smoke 100 pounds of pork butts and serve pulled pork to them as well as some hot chili during the colder months. A couple of weeks ago I was able to enter my first local BBQ competition in Walburg, TX, a fantastic little German town just 30 mins or so north of me with a friend of mine where I smoked some ribs and chicken, while he did the brisket (pictures below) and I've even been able to finally publish my first cookbook on Amazon too!
