KUAF's Ozarks at Large invited local chef Nate Walls onto the show to hear his story of founding Second Helping NWA and how he's using barbecue as a force for good in the community.

• Smokin': Nate Walls is the owner of Secondhand Smoke NWA, sharing the skills he cultivated as a chef during his years in the Army by whipping up some killer barbecue and comfort food.
• Servin': When the pandemic hit, he couldn't sit idly by while many in the community went hungry, and what started as cooking meals for neighbors in need transformed into the nonprofit Second Helpings NWA, which has served nearly 8,000 meals.
