While the art director of the Washington Post and Smithsonian magazine, Brian Noyes baked pies and breads on weekends in his Virginia farmhouse and sold them out of an old red truck he bought from Tommy Hilfiger. When a New York Times story sent 57,000 people to his website in one day, he left publishing to launch the Red Truck Bakery in a 1921 Esso filling station. The bakery now has two locations, ships thousands of baked goods nationwide, and has earned praise from Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. He is a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance and the James Beard Foundation.
