From Spark to Inferno: Rashad Jones Inspires CRHS Culinary Students
I had the incredible opportunity to visit Autumn Crabtree’s Culinary Arts class at Crystal River High School, where the students received an unforgettable lesson from none other than Rashad Jones, owner of Big Lee’s Serious About Barbecue in Ocala!
A three-time Food Network champion, Jones has defeated legendary chefs—including Bobby Flay (twice!)—with his award-winning, slow-smoked barbecue. But beyond the food, his message was even more powerful: take an idea from a spark, to a flame, to an inferno.
His words resonated with the students, showing them that passion, dedication, and hard work can turn a dream into reality. And, of course, they got to sample some of his famous creations—a true treat for these future chefs!
