Every once in awhile you meet a genuinely remarkable person. You know, the rare kind of person who comes through your door a stranger, but leaves as family. Someone so surprising, you wonder if just MAYBE they're not from around here (and by “here” I mean planet Earth). For the last few days we had the fortunate experience of hanging out with Chef Austin Henry and I'd like to introduce you to our new friend/adopted brother (and later BEG you to help him out).

Austin, or Gonzo as mom affectionately named him, is cooking his way around the world on a bike over the next three years (let's be clear, he's not cooking ON the bike). Years of executive chef positions at some of the top restaurants in the world, as well as THREE DAYS of bike training have left him more than qualified for such an undertaking. In the relatively short amount of time he's been on the road, he's already amassed a wealth of stories, a few new tattoos, an impressive leg scar, and a reality TV show set to be aired on Fox. But holy smokes, you guys, he could use our help!!!!
Here is a checklist of things he desperately needs:
Here is a checklist of things he desperately needs:
 | A helmet. |
| We won't mention the fact that he rode nearly 3400 miles without one, or the fact that even though everyone he's met says, “Where's your helmet?”, NO ONE bothered to drag him down to #georgescyclesboise to procure said helmet. Clerk: Hi, how can I help you? Me: This guy needs a helmet, he's riding AROUND THE WORLD. Clerk: That's awesome! When does he leave? Me: Five months ago. From Miami. Clerk: Me: Clerk: Okay….right over here... We also won't mention his almost immediate meeting with a tree branch after first putting the new helmet on, because wearing a helmet seemed to briefly negate the need to keep one’s eyes on the road… |

 | HOSTS |
| When Austin can't find a place to stay he naps in cemeteries. It's cool though, dead people are nice and quiet… Live in a city near the route? You can host Austin and in exchange he'll cook for you, and I can tell you from experience, this is DEFINITELY something you want. Click here to learn more. |
