This Weekend’s All About Honor, Heat & Huge Wins 🥳🎉

Hey FresYes Fam,

This weekend is a big one—and not just because we're firing up the grills 🍔🔥 and soaking in that extra day off. Memorial Day is a time to pause and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom 🇺🇸. Let’s make sure amidst the celebrations, we take a moment to reflect and give thanks 🙏.

It’s also a huge weekend for graduates everywhere 🎓—including two very special ones in my life. My son is graduating from San Joaquin Memorial on Saturday morning (go Panthers!), and my daughter will be walking the stage at Chapman University that evening 🎉. I’m so proud of them both. To all the families celebrating milestones this weekend, may God watch over our kids as they take on their next big chapters. We raised them for this moment—now we cheer them on 💪👏.

Also, big news for BBQ lovers: I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the legend himself, Famous Dave Anderson 🍖, the founder of Famous Dave’s BBQ. You can check out the full interview here, but spoiler alert—he’s coming to Fresno next Friday, May 31st, for the All-Star BBQ Series qualifier 🔥🏆. It’s going to be smoky, spicy, and full of local flavor. Don’t miss it!

And if you’re hosting this weekend and need to feed a crowd without emptying your wallet 💵🍽️, Natali’s got your back with a timely piece on where to do just that here in Fresno.

Let’s dive in!

Famous Dave Is Coming to Fresno—
And He’s Bringing the Smoke with Him

Last week, I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with “Famous” Dave Anderson, the man behind the national barbecue brand you already know and love. We talked meat, mindset, sobriety, seasoning—and how a rib shack in the Northwoods grew into a coast-to-coast phenomenon. But before we dive into Dave’s inspiring story (and trust me, it’s worth your time), let me tell you why this interview matters right now… Read more…
