Tim Hollingsworth
As a professional chef, Tim Hollingsworth has grown used to the photo ops, kitchen tours, and the other pleasantries required to turn high-end restaurant clientele into returning customers.

Journey South
Born and raised in Louisiana, Moe and Eric Newman grew up fishing in the Pelican State. In 2014, the husband and wife team opened a lodge on a lark—“got a boat for inshore,” says Eric, “and a boat for offshore,”—and hit the water at open throttle.
Tim Montana
