Good Food, Good Times
For the Huffs, food is more than nutrition or satisfying hunger. For
them, food is about sharing, love and friendship.
“This goes back to the Bible. How many times does the Bible talk
about food, meals, bread? In fact, it goes back even earlier, to Greek
and Roman times,” Steve said.
“And you find the same thing in politics. We need to go back to the
way it used to be done. Let’s get rid of the electronics and let’s have a
meal where we talk together and communicate. We share each other’s
company and joy. People put down their differences and say, ‘We can
deal with it. Together, we can work out all of the challenges.’”
Food can provide a bonding experience in the kitchen or at the
grill, Steve said.
“For Tracy and me, one of the best ways to unwind is to cook,” he
said. “We start talking about things we never thought about before, but
it relieves your stress when you bring it up.”
Food also brings comfort, Steve said. He told stories of how good
food can bring back great thoughts even for those struggling with
memory loss. The good times associated with the sights, smells and
tastes of good food in turn strike a chord with everyone.

“We had one Thanksgiving meal where the family demanded that I
do it without anything traditional, not one thing,” he said. “I thought,
‘OK, I’m up for the challenge,’ and we did it.”
Whether it’s a benefit for a good cause or just time with family and
friends, the Huffs want to maintain their reputation for a first-class
experience.
“When they go with Steve and Tracy, they know they’re going full
bore,” he added with a laugh. n
