For Week Three of Culinary Confidential's Americana 250 series, patriots meet cowboys! Not the football teams but rather, two icons who embody patriotism, resilience, and heritage in their own powerful ways!

Scott LoBaido is a renowned American artist, activist, and creative patriot best known for his powerful paintings and murals of the U.S. flag. Born in Staten Island, LoBaido has spent 30+ years painting thousands of renditions of Old Glory on schools, firehouses, police stations, homes, and public buildings across all 50 states. His work honors veterans, first responders, and the American spirit, often dedicated to those who serve. A vocal advocate for patriotism and national unity, LoBaido’s art blends creativity with activism, turning public spaces into bold celebrations of freedom and pride.

Kent Rollins is a legendary chuckwagon cook, cowboy, bestselling author, and storyteller from Oklahoma. With over 34 years of experience cooking outdoors over live fire for ranches across America, he preserves the authentic traditions of the Old West. Raised around cattle and ranching, Kent bought his first chuckwagon in 1993 and has since become a beloved figure through his YouTube channel, cookbooks, and appearances on Food Network shows like Chopped Grill Masters and Beat Bobby Flay. He travels the country alongside his wife Shannon to share hearty recipes, frontier wisdom, and the camaraderie of cowboy life from their cast-iron skillet.

From bold strokes of red, white, and blue to the sizzle of cast-iron skillets over open flames, this conversation dives into the people, places, and traditions that continue defining our nation. 

And it's more than just flags and food. This conversation is all about patriotism in practice, heritage with heart, and the shared values that bind us: pride, perseverance, community, and the joy of serving something bigger than ourselves.

If you believe America’s soul shines brightest through its creators, its workers, and its unwavering spirit, you won’t want to miss this one.
