JXN Food & Wine was more than a weekend. It was chefs at the top of their craft, tables full of flavor, and a city that knows how to show up. From the Friday Feast to the Grand Tasting, every moment felt like a reminder that Mississippi isn’t just participating in the culinary conversation… we’re helping lead it.

The best part? The people. The conversations. The feeling of everyone coming together around something good.

If you were there, you know.
If you missed it… we’ll save you a seat for next year!

After graduating from a Hattiesburg-area high school in 1994, Jeremy Noffke went to Tampa, Florida, to pursue his passion for skateboarding. While there, he began working in restaurants. By his early twenties, he was back in Hattiesburg, where he got a job busing tables at St. John’s Crescent City Grill.
Noffke worked for St. John for two decades. Along the way, he attended the Culinary Institute of America, where the erstwhile skater kid learned the methods of the world’s finest cooks. In 2009, back in Hattiesburg, he became chef de cuisine at Purple Parrot Cafe, a position he held for eight years.
In 2017, Noffke moved to the Gulf Coast, where he helped open a restaurant and then worked as a corporate chef.
So, in 2022, when Southern Prohibition (SoPro), a brewery in downtown Hattiesburg, asked Noffke to help build a food menu, he jumped at the chance. He designed the kitchen from scratch and still to this day serves as the brewery’s taproom chef.
During his time there, he worked with Emily Curry, CEO of SoPro at the time, and his longtime friend Dusty Frierson who was consulting on the beverage program for SoPro. The three enjoyed working together so much, Big Trouble was born. With fare that skews heavily toward Chinese American cuisine, but there are other influences, too, and trying to define the food would be a fool’s errand.
