Late in 2020, Sharon Osbourne revealed that she was briefly hospitalized due to COVID-19. Her husband Ozzy, however, fared better and managed to not get COVID at all. As for the reason why, he thinks the Devil may have had something to do with it.

Osbourne said to Metal Hammer (via Louder, who was careful to note that Osbourne was joking), “My wife had the virus, my daughter had the virus, and I never got it. Being a devil worshipper does have its good points!”

Back in April, though, he told the same publication, “These past two years, I’ve been in a terrible f*cking state. I’ve struggling with this f*cking broken neck, looks like I’m in for more surgery. I’m in physical therapy right now.”

Meanwhile, he’s working on a follow-up to his 2010 No Ordinary Man, and he said of it, “It’s going to be similar in tone to Ordinary Man, but I can’t describe it completely. I’ve not heard it for a while because it keeps going over to the next person to add their parts — we’re f*cking around with it all the time.”

Speaking of collaborations, he forged a working relationship with Post Malone in 2019, as he joined Posty on “Take Me What You Want” before recruiting him to guest on his own “It’s A Raid” early last year.

NBA champion JR Smith is now the most famous college golfer in the country. The former NBA star decided not only to go get a college degree after calling it a career on the basketball court, but he is embracing the college experience in a way you rarely see from a former pro athlete.

Smith is a constant presence on campus at North Carolina A&T, often live-tweeting the ups and downs of college life, sweating out pop quizzes and late night study sessions like any other student. He’s also joined the school’s golf team after being cleared by the NCAA to do so, and on Monday he made his first start in a tournament for the Aggies at the Elon Phoenix Invitational in Burlington, North Carolina.

The first nine holes for Smith — who started on the fifth hole — went quite well, as he was 1-over with a pair of birdies and only two blemishes (a bogey and a double) on his card. You can check out some of the highlights from the local news crew that followed him on his first nine, which include a couple darts to set up his birdies and some quality up and downs to salvage pars.

Unfortunately for Smith, his second nine wasn’t as friendly. He had settled in with five straight pars when things went off the tracks in the final eight holes. Smith made seven bogeys and a double coming down the stretch to post a 10-over 81. It’s not how Smith would’ve drawn it up for his first tournament round, but it also is the kind of round that gives him plenty to build on. Those highlights from his first nine show a swing that’s in control and on tempo, as well as a really smooth putting stroke. Whatever happened to get a little loose on the second nine is just life on the golf course, as we’ve all been there — especially in tournament golf where it can be difficult to put it back on track when things start going wrong.

The good news is he’ll have a chance to try and turn it around in the second round of the tournament, and if nothing else this is a learning experience for someone who, for all his experience playing in high-stakes games in the NBA, is just getting his first taste of tournament golf.

Cardi B’s adventurous Facebook Watch series Cardi Tries has returned for a second season and in the latest episode, the “WAP” rapper tries her hand at wedding planning and officiating for a same-sex couple with the help of actress Raven-Symoné. Ahead of the episode’s premiere, Uproxx shared an exclusive preview in which Cardi gets choked up at seeing the decorations for the wedding and declares, “I want to get married… again!” Now that the episode is out, we can see how she handles the other part: actually officiating the wedding.

In the clip, Cardi pops out to surprise one of the brides as well as the wedding guests. “I want to thank you guys for making me a part of your beautiful journey,” Cardi tells the couple in a clip that made its way to Twitter. Cardi also made sure to note to her followers that she did get officially licensed, calling it “such a fulfilling thing to do” and admitting that she was “sooo starstruck” at meeting Raven.

Cardi says during the episode that she and Offset got married at home, leaving her wanting “the whole dress and the whole cake and everything,” so perhaps she and her rapper husband will find an occasion to celebrate with the big blowout she’s always wanted.

The preseason hasn’t been the smoothest of rides for the Lakers, as they’ve yet to win an exhibition game and have looked the part of a team still trying to learn each other after an offseason that saw them almost completely remake the roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Preseason results, of course, don’t mean anything for a veteran team with title aspirations that hasn’t put all three of its top players on the floor together yet, but more concerning are the knocks that have been picked up by some hopeful key contributors — and oddly enough, two of their youngest players.

Malik Monk is currently sidelined with a groin strain that the Lakers hope won’t force him to miss any actual time in the regular season, but is the type of injury that warrants plenty of caution as it’s the type of thing that can linger. Trevor Ariza is out for at least two months after ankle surgery, and now joining Monk and Ariza on the sidelines is Talen Horton-Tucker, who has a thumb injury that, per Shams Charania and Dave McMenamin, will require surgery to repair a torn ligament.

There’s no word on a timetable for THT’s return, but he is one of their better and more versatile defenders on the wing and any absence from him limits what the Lakers can do lineup-wise. His ability to play and defend multiple positions gives Frank Vogel a lot of options as to lineups he can fit into, and without that type of player at his disposal, the Lakers’ versatility takes a significant hit. Hopefully, Horton-Tucker will make a quick and full recovery, and the Lakers will know to play the long game with his return and try to ensure he doesn’t suffer any setbacks that could impact them come playoff time. In the meantime, L.A. will have even more tinkering to do with lineups and rotations.

The “most monstrous comet ever known” is careening towards Earth.

Now, before you panic! at the disco / office / Taco Bell drive-in / wherever you spend your Mondays, you should know that it’s not expected to collide into this big blue marble we call home. University of Pennsylvania astronomers Gary Bernstein and Pedro Bernardinelli, the pair who discovered the comet and published their findings in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, learned “the comet’s trajectory has it swinging between Uranus and Saturn in 2031,” according to the Daily Beast:

Its close approach in 2031 will be a monumental time to study the comet’s chemistry and reveal what our neck of the woods was like before there were planets zipping around. “One of the best things about this comet is that we’ve got a while until it makes its closest approach to the sun, so we’ve got years to study how it brightens up as its surface gets exposed to the sun’s warmth,” [Amy Mainzer, an astronomer and comet expert at the University of Arizona] said.

But hypothetically speaking, let’s say the comet, which measures to 60 to 100 miles in length, was on a collision course with Earth, couldn’t we blow up? It worked in Armageddon. Nah, says astrophysicist / professional buzzkill Neil deGrasse Tyson.

“So, if you look in movies about this sort of thing, what they want to do is blow the sucker out of the sky,” he said while appearing on CNN earlier today. “We’re very good at blowing stuff up because we have no end of weaponry to do this. But that’s not the wisest path. All engineering calculations tell us if you blow something up, while we’re good at blowing it up, we’re not as good knowing where the pieces will end up. So, it’s safer and it’s more controlled to deflect an asteroid from harm’s way.”

If we can’t trust the scientific accuracy of a Michael Bay movie, what can we trust?

One of DC Comics’ flagship titles is stepping up in a huge way for LGBTQ representation as the publisher’s current Superman will come out as bisexual in its latest issue. To bring everyone up to speed, the publishing company’s Superman is no longer Clark Kent. That mantle has been passed to his son, Jon Kent, who’s now headlining his own series, Superman: Son of Kal-El.

Introduced in July 2015, Jonathan Samuel Kent has been through some huge shifts in the past six years. After surviving a major multiversal event that “fixed” the shattered DC Universe, Jon became Superboy and often teamed up with the Damian Wayne Robin as the “Super Sons.” While he started out as a pre-teen, Jon did something that rarely happens in comics: He actually aged. After a mission into space with his grandfather, Jor-El, Jon returned to Earth as a 17-year-old despite only being gone for a few months.

With his powers almost fully developed, his father has entrusted Jon with protecting the planet as Superman. And, now, the character is about to make his boldest move yet. Via IGN:

“Over the years in this industry, it probably won’t surprise you to hear I’ve had queer characters and storylines rejected. I felt like I was letting down people I loved every time this happened” writer Tom Taylor tells IGN. “But we are in a very different and much more welcome place today than we were ten, or even five years ago. When I was asked if I wanted to write a new Superman with a new #1 for the DC Universe, I knew replacing Clark with another straight white savior could be a real opportunity missed. I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes. Today, Superman, the strongest superhero on the planet, is coming out.”

The move follows an announcement in August that Tim Drake, who made a splash in the ’90s as the third Robin, was coming out as bisexual in an issue of Batman: Urban Legends. That editorial choice was met with a round of support from fans, and we’re sure the Jon Kent news will go over equally well with only a few obnoxious, but minimal detractors.

The cartels are poppin’ in Narcos: Mexico Season 3, and Netflix’s trailer promises a fiery flourish to the franchise. This shall be the final season of the spinoff to the Pablo Escobar-centered beginnings of Narcos, and the installments have continued to their high on their own supply (in a good way). However, the most recent season finale saw the freshly incarcerated Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) quietly and ominously warning Scoot McNairy’s Walt Breslin of the circus that the fledgling DEA had inadvertently unleashed. Yep, the U.S. had taken down the Guadalajara Cartel, but several plazas swiftly sprang up like hydra heads, going full-cartel in the aftermath. As Félix put it to Walt, “You’re going to miss me,” and that was no joke.

We get a good look at all the jousting cartels in this trailer (El Chapo’s all up in the Sinaloa business, and the Tijuana, Juarez, the Gulf are all going) with Scoot’s mustache positioning itself amid gunfire (including from a bazooka) and explosions, set to the tune of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.” And like the recent teaser, this trailer sports a magnificent tagline: “THE FINAL BLOW.”

No subtlety there. Here’s the season synopsis:

Set in the 90s, when the globalization of the drug business ignites, Season 3 examines the war that breaks out after Felix’s arrest. As newly independent cartels struggle to survive political upheaval and escalating violence, a new generation of Mexican kingpins emerge. But in this war, truth is the first casualty – and every arrest, murder and take-done only pushes real victory further away…

Yeah, all of those drug lords who previously agreed to co-exist and “prosper” in the Season 2 finale were full of it. Also of importance: a new baddie will be portrayed by Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), and remember this (from a Season 1 finale moment): “Rock and roll never forgets.”

Narcos: Mexico Season 3 streams on November 5.

The best new hip-hop this week includes albums, videos, and songs from Don Toliver, Lute, and more.

Friday saw the releases of Cordae’s “Super,” Joyner Lucas’ “Late To The Party,” Tyla Yaweh’s “Hand Up,” Nicki Minaj’s “Boyz,” and Mick Jenkins’ “Contacts,” along with the releases listed below.

Here is the best of hip-hop this week ending October 8, 2021.

Albums/EPs/Mixtapes

Atmosphere — Word?

The Minnesotan backpack rap duo has yet to take a significant break since 2018, churning out a new album every year since. This year’s entry features contributions from Aesop Rock, Evidence, MF DOOM, and more.

Benji. — Smile, You’re Alive

The Spillage Village member picks up on his solo album where the group left off last year, with a joyous, introspective, and dextrous debut. Obviously, a strong theme running through the project is gratitude for life changes — including the ones that took place in the past 12 months.

Don Toliver — Live Of A Don

Toliver’s third album arrived with plenty of fanfare, as he sought to deliver on the promise that fans have seen in his since his 2018 debut. Life Of A Don is a vibey but shallow adventure that makes for great smoke session background music.

Lute — Gold Mouf

The Dreamville rapper has been patiently waiting for his turn back at-bat since 2017, when he dropped his debut, West 1996, Pt. 2. He’s had years of growth since then, as well as an increase in stature thanks to his role on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III, combining into a thoughtful, emotive album that genuinely impresses.

Flee Lord & Roc Marciano — Delgado (Deluxe)

Adding five new tracks to the August underground favorite, the deluxe edition of Delgado delivers even more of the gritty, sample-heavy New York trap talk that has become both rappers’ signatures.

Sleepy Hallow — Still Sleep? (Deluxe)

Brooklyn native Sleepy Hallow adds a whole new album’s worth of songs to his June album, getting even more creative with quirky, unexpected samples that expand on the drill sound.

Singles/Videos

AzChike & Rucci — “Depend On Me”

The LA underground scene continues to thrive with the release of Rucci & AzChike’s Kourtesy Of Us mixtape. “Depend On Me” is another standout.

Dave B — “Ego Trip” Feat. Rexx Life Raj

Two of my favorites on a smooth, soulful track backed by noodling electric guitars and highlighted by their deft lyricism equals an automatic entry.

Dave East & Harry Fraud — “Just Another Rapper”

It should be clear by now that Dave East is more than “just another rapper,” but just in case it wasn’t, he delivers another standout from his collaborative project with Harry Fraud, Hoffa.

Lakeyah — “Check” Feat. Moneybagg Yo

Milwaukee rapper Lakeyah supports her new Gangsta Grillz project with a video for one of the album’s best tracks, bringing in Memphis favorite Moneybagg for a timely assist.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The Ted Lasso Power Rankings are a weekly analysis of who and/or what had the strongest performance in each episode. Most of the list will feature individual characters, although the committee does reserve the right to honor anything from animals to inanimate objects to laws of nature to general concepts. There are very few rules here.

Season 2, Episode 12 — “Inverting the Pyramid of Success”

HONORABLE MENTION: Higgins (tricky situation here because every bone in my body wants to include him in the top ten just to post the GIF of him holding the dogs but I still find it too funny to keep him out, and the rascal in me always prevails); Jamie Tartt (I like that he’s grown as a person but still wears the ICON hat); Isaac (well-versed in intellectual property laws); Heather Locklear on Melrose Place (a sneaky salty bitch); Mae (a good egg); Will Kitman (give him Nate’s job); Colin (I did not know he had the violent streak in him until he called for a Code Red on the leaker, but it’s always the quiet ones); London’s premier all-female dog breeder Suzi Campbell (spinoff WHEN); Jan Maas (truthteller); Rupert (King Sleaze); British tabloids, generally (tip of the cap for “Panic at the Lasso”): Dr. Sharon (bailed on the team and a troubled coach right before the biggest game of the year)

10. Nate (Last week: 7)

Hoo boy. Let’s talk about it.

The thing with Nate is that there’s a piece of him on the inside that’s empty. Think of it as a crater created by the father that never showed affection or pride toward him no matter what he did. And there’s a hole at the bottom of the crater, too, so it’s not a matter of just filling it once. He needs it filled constantly, every day, through validation and appreciation and credit. And if whoever filled it last does not stay vigilant about topping it off, then he’s going to turn on that person and blame them for the crater being empty. This is not a great analogy. I’m not entirely sure a leaky crater is even a thing that exists.

But you get it, I think. Ted showed Nate something resembling parental support and then Nate wrapped his arms around that tightly and then Ted moved on to deal with other aspects of his life and job and took his laser beam of attention with him. That’s why Nate zipped in that low-blow about Ted belonging back home with his son. Nate felt that. It hit a little too close to home, right in the squishy parts. This is his supervillain origin story. He’s gone full Joker now. The new team he coaches wears all black, as if it wasn’t all clear enough. This is officially a thing.

(The thing with Roy didn’t help. He should not have planted a kiss on Keeley like he did, for a number of reasons, but Roy brushing it all off as an innocent mistake after being ready to plant Jamie in the ground like a carrot probably did a number on the part of Nate that feels inadequate and spits at its own reflection in the mirror. Nate needs therapy very badly. I’m actually kind of furious Dr. Sharon missed all this.)

Which brings us to the final scene and, yes, the reveal that he’s coaching Rupert’s team, a situation that appeared to be in the works dating back to the whispering at the funeral, at least. This show has never really had a villain, or even a legitimate antagonist. Rebecca was trying to sabotage the team for, like a minute. Jamie was kind of a prick for a while. But there was no real opposing force out there beyond Ted’s own anxiety and personal issues. This will be interesting and new. It has big Mighty Ducks energy the more I look at it.

Although that analogy doesn’t really hold up either. Ted was not a teen soccer prodigy who became a lawyer and returned to coaching as part of a court-appointed community service plan. I’ll work on this before next season. I’ll need to. Things are going to get weird.

9. My sweet prince Dani Rojas (Last week: Unranked)

While I am very happy for Dani that he overcame his penalty kick phobia in the final moments of the biggest game of the year, putting the dead bird in his past with the help of a regal new doggie mascot and repeating his mantra of “football is life” once again, I think I am most happy for him about the thing where he has a television in his refrigerator.

I am not exaggerating here. Do a little thought exercise if you doubt me. Picture this refrigerator getting delivered to his house and installed. Picture his face when the screen lights up for the first time. Picture him watching… I don’t know, I’m seeing cartoons for some reason, as he pours milk into his cereal.

This is living right here. Dani Rojas is doing great.

8. Trent Crimm, Independent (Last week: 9)

It’s funny because last week I was furious at Trent for abandoning his ethics to burn a source and now I’m furious at The Independent for firing him over it. The lesson here is that there’s no pleasing me.

Anyway, I am now fascinated by Trent’s next step, whatever it ends up being. Like, I’m more interested in this than whatever happens to Richmond going forward. Part of me wants him to start an investigative TikTok full of hard-hitting journalism presented via memes. Another part of me wants him to become a world-class surfer and pop up once a season to check-in, all tan and relaxed and pulsating with good vibes. Most of me just wants him to be happy. I love you, Trent Crimm.

7. Rebecca (Last week: 10)

Toughest ranking on the list. We go to the bullet points:

• Her best friend is starting her own business and will no longer be working in the building and available for midday heart-to-hearts on the couch
• Her slimy ex bought a rival club and hired away her team’s strategic mastermind
• Her on-again, off-again relationship with an employee — adorable in practice, problematic on paper — remains complicated by his decision to stay with the club

And yet, despite all of that… it felt like a win for her? Maybe it’s because the team made it back to the Premier League after one year of exile. Maybe it’s because I’m just feeling all warm and fuzzy today and decided to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Let’s not examine it any further. Sometimes it’s okay to just accept a good thing and move on.

So… moving on!

6. This dog (Last week: Unranked)

If this dog does not return next season — and I’m talking about a minimum of one appearance each episode, preferably on the field but even more preferably in the home of a player who finds a lifelong friend through the process of doggie adoption, and I’m thinking mostly about Isaac here because a) I think it would be fun, and b) I want Isaac to get way into dog grooming with those magical clippers of his — so help me God I will burn down a building.

5. Ted (Last week: 5)

Good for Ted, mostly. He handled the article about his panic attack as well as anyone could, and he led his team back from the brink of obscurity, and he confronted Nate a little about, you know, all of that. On paper, just weighing the pluses and minuses, this one looks like a squeaker of a win for him.

But I worry. I do. I worry because Ted takes things hard underneath that mustache. The Nate situation is going to stick with him. And even beyond a personal level, he’s now lost his tactical mastermind, the one who drew up all the strategies that filled in the massive gaps of his soccer knowledge. That’s not ideal. Nor is the fact that he’s been running this team for two seasons and does not appear to have learned anything beyond the basic rules of the sport he is paid handsomely to coach. Buy a book, my dude. Or borrow one of Beard’s. Come on.

I’m sure he’ll be okay. Probably. Eventually. It could get a little hairy, though. Maybe he and Trent Crimm can go on a road trip together to blow off some steam. That could help. And I would like it. Release it as an hour-long special between seasons. This is a good idea.

4. Sam (Last week: 2)

I think we all knew or at least strongly suspected that Sam was staying. It would have been weird, even just on a practical level, to ship off one of the show’s most important players and have him lead a team on another continent. Still, it was comforting to have it confirmed. And that is all I have to say about that, because it is now time to discuss Sam Richardson again.

What a champion. Just never misses. That evil turn upon getting rejected by Sam was a thing of beauty from beginning to end. The words, yes, the threats about burning and defecating and all of that, of course, the strangling of a mannequin, very much. But this is where I lost it.

I need to know more about this. Everything, if possible. How much of it was written in and how much was Sam Richardson just riffing. It’s delightful. Imagine a grown man doing that in your place of business. It would be all you talk about for weeks.

I’ll be sad if this is the last we see of him as this character. He’s the best. But if it is our final go-round with him on this show, I mean, defiling a mannequin during a childish tantrum is a heck of a way to go out.

3. Keeley (Last week: 3)

We should all take a second at some point and consider the rocket-like trajectory Keeley has been on. At the beginning of this show, she was kind of arm candy for Jamie, a glamour model who dated athletes and filtered a sizable chunk of her personality through that experience. Now she’s a full-on business dynamo and public relations powerhouse who is getting written up in glossy magazines and turning down six-week vacations to stay at home and prepare to start her own company.

That’s… cool. Kind of. I still cannot support the idea of skipping a six-week vacation to stay at home and work, just on principle. But I also do not have a statue of a bright pink jungle cat in my office (yet), so it’s safe to say Keeley and I are in different places right now, personally.

We do agree on the thing in the screencap, though. That’s a solid foundation to build any friendship on.

2. Roy (Last week: 6)

Back to the bullet points:

• I love that Roy’s version of forgiveness — in this case, forgiving Jamie for professing an undying love for Keeley — involves shouting the eff-word and storming out of a room
• The fact that he shouts “WHISTLE” instead of blowing a whistle will never not be funny to me
• “It hurt my… feeling” is maybe as close to a perfect line Reading as you’ll ever see on television

I do worry a little bit about Roy on vacation by himself for six weeks, especially while half of England is professing its love for his suddenly very successful girlfriend. And I also worry about the coaching staff without Nate’s tactical genius. Like, does Roy draw things up now? Can you picture Roy at a whiteboard explaining formations and strategies? I, for one, cannot.

But still, good for him. The arc of personal growth he’s on has him bending closer every day to my big picture goal for him: hosting a Dr. Phil-style self-help daytime talk show. It would be riveting television.

1. Coach Beard (Last week: 1)

Just a solid dude all-around. Tells Ted he doesn’t know why people are being weird on the street and then, blammo, we see he has the tabloid in his pocket. Sniffed out Nate’s treachery and made sure to check on his buddy before running off and smashing Nate with a mallet, like a cartoon, which he wanted to do so badly. Got in this great line about Ted’s mustache. Everyone could use a Coach Beard in their lives. The world would be a much better place. We’d have a global hula hoop shortage, probably, but that’s a bridge we can cross when we get to it.

The greatest.

One of the greatest examples of how culture in the United States is shaped by colonization is the fact that Native American foods feel “ironically foreign” to most people who live on what was originally indigenous land.

This observation was made by Sean Sherman, aka “The Sioux Chef,” an Oglala Lakota chef who was raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Sherman grew up in one of America’s poorest communities and when he was 13, got a job washing dishes at a local steakhouse.

This experience in restaurants created a lifelong affinity for cooking that he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to pursue.

---

After mastering French and Japanese cuisines he had an epiphany: “Just all of a sudden, I realized that there was no Native foods. I just realized the other absence of indigenous perspective anywhere in the culinary world, nothing that represented the land we were actually standing on,” he told PBS Newshour.

Even though he was born on a reservation, traditional Native American foods weren’t an important part of his diet growing up. He was raised on processed foods and government supplemental fare which he attributes as one of the leading causes of health issues such as obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes that many Native Americans face.

Sherman set out to better understand indigenous cooking by researching food systems and learning from elders, historians, and ethnobotanists.

“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away? How were they getting oils and salts and fats and sugars and things like that?” he asked himself. “So it took me quite a few years of just researching, but it really became a passion.”

He eventually compiled his research into a book, “The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen” which won the coveted 2018 James Beard Award for best American cookbook.

Sherman along with his partner in life and business, Dana Thompson, continued their mission to reclaim Native American food by offering catering through The Sioux Chef and the Tatanka Truck.

They also created the Indigenous Food Lab, a nonprofit that works to increase access to Native American foods.

“For Indigenous people who went through intense assimilation, we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman told Food and Wine. “But we’re at a point now where we can reclaim it and evolve it for the next generation. To be able to share culture through food will be really healing.”

This summer, Sherman opened his first brick-and-mortar restaurant, Owamni, situated in downtown Minneapolis in an area that Native Americans have known as Spirit Island. The restaurant features indigenous dishes that are free from colonial ingredients such as wheat flour, sugar, pork and chicken.

Instead, diners feast on a decolonized menu featuring wild rice, nixtamalized corn from Mexico, bison, lake fish, dandelion, blueberries and corn ash.

Sherman is making his mark on Minnesota, but his work is spreading across the globe through Facebook and Instagram which he uses for activism and to share Native American history.

Sherman used Facebook to fight back against an incorrect Fox News report that called for a massive bison cull at Grand Canyon National Park.

He started a fundraiser that earned over $10,000 to help distribute Indigenous Home Meal Kits directly to families in need around the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

On Instagram, he stood with Standing Rock.

He also shared a powerful picture of his great grandfather who fought at Little Big Horn.

The Sioux Chef’s work online and in the kitchen are all part of the same goal, to return Native American food and culture to the forefront of American society.

“The bigger goal is to eventually grow the Indigenous Food Lab so we can help train, educate, and support Indigenous kitchens all over the United States,” Sherman said.

“We believe that there should be Indigenous restaurants everywhere because no matter where, we’re on Indigenous land,” Sherman says. Owamni will “help showcase further how Indigenous food fits into the American scene,” he says. “You can’t tell the story of American food while dismissing the Indigenous history of it all.”

Why not celebrate Indigenous People’s Day by cooking one of The Sioux Chef’s delicious recipes? Here’s how to make braised bison and root vegetables.
