Learn how Fort Worth-based chef, food blogger, and author Scotty Scott has turned a passion for home cooking into a thriving business with lively videos, social media, and now, a popular cookbook. Scotty will perform a live cooking demonstration, discuss how he built a successful business out of his love of family recipes, and share what’s next for Cook Drank Eat.
