So, Jessup went to work, getting everything he would need to prepare a barbecue feast.
On Friday, he fired up his grill, and began the 16-hour process of smoking brisket with his signature sauce, grilling chicken and salmon, cooking macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and potato salad.
By the time he was done on Saturday, Jessup and his crew had prepared enough meals to feed 115 healthcare heroes. They packaged it all up and hand-delivered it to Atrium Health Saturday.
