But he says that’s just scratching the surface.
He’s also drawn to motorsports and has a Baja-style racing track for his dirt bikes and go-karts at his spread in northern Arizona. I’ve been blessed with the camping gene since I was a kid.” “We camped, we fished, and we enjoyed it. “I never knew whether it was hip or a trend or not, it’s just what we did,” he says. Being diabetic made him health conscious from an early age, and outdoor pursuits were also just a way of life for his family. Calling himself a “rock jock,” he says he’s always been active and athletic. “I like to say that in spite of myself, I’ve managed to survive.”Ī big part of Michaels’ life story takes place outdoors. “It’s by the grace of God, good medical attention, and having a strong spirit,” he says.

After a series of medical emergencies, starting with being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a kid, the biggest story is the fact that he’s still here to tell them. His new book, Auto-Scrap-Ography, uses a scrapbook format to tell many of the adventurous tales from his life so far. These kind-hearted efforts led to Michaels receiving the Humanitarian of the Year Award at the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade in Los Angeles late that year. When hurricanes hit the Bahamas and Puerto Rico in 2019, he loaded his own plane with relief supplies and children’s toys and personally delivered them. He is also an active supporter of veterans support organizations like Operation Homefront. Through his Life Rocks Foundation, Michaels supports many (often medical-related) causes and has given handsomely to charity.
With his Pets Rock collection at PetSmart, he even markets rock ‘n’ roll-oriented toys and accessories for dogs and cats. He has a real estate concern that develops and sells high-end properties, and there’s also a namesake diet soft drink from Snapple (“Bret Michaels’ Trop-A-Rocka Tea”).
The cakes had hunks of crab, perfect seasoning and just a delicious pairing with the creamy sauce. These three mini ones were plump with a flavorful remoulade. I ordered a crab cake before I knew of the delightful complimentary pimento cheese appetizer, but I always love a crab cake. Super crisp chips with a heavy scoop of cheese and mayo and pimento that is was just hitting all the right notes. I started with the crackers and pimento cheese, which, wow, is quite the way to start a meal. Open, airy, light, a large wraparound porch - which is where I chose to have my meal. Vukov's other location, Croissants Bistro & Bakery, is also one we'll come back to later. Hook & Barrel was one of the first places I knew I wanted to dine at when I decided to take a trip to Myrtle Beach because it had been recommended to me a few times. Hook & Barrel is a noted seafood restaurant in Myrtle Beach that focuses on local food and sustainability.Ĭhef Heidi Vukov started this restaurant and has won many awards, including the 2018 South Carolina Chef Ambassador.
