EatJxn Brent
Brent Hearn is a writer, actor, and musician currently residing in Brandon. He loves, loves, LOVES trying new food. To say he has a sweet tooth doesn’t do justice to his passion for desserts; step between him and chocolate and bad things will happen. Brent is proud of Mississippi and all of its contributions to gastronomy, literature, and music.
