There she worked with the team to create events: from intimate backyard gatherings to high-profile political fundraisers. Making sure every client's event featured both Rocklands' legendary barbecue and impeccable service. Though life has taken her from DC to Japan, to New Mexico, Tennessee and now to Oklahoma, where she lives with her husband Michael, son Jackson, and pup Francis, you'll still find bottles of Rocklands Barbecue Sauce making their way to her doorstep. Some loves know no distance.","url":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/blog\/author\/jcarter\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-content\/uploads\/rocklands-sweet-tea-mint-julep-in-a-glass-396x400.webp","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-content\/uploads\/rocklands-sweet-tea-mint-julep-in-a-glass-396x600.webp","author_info":{"display_name":"Jenn Carter","author_link":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/blog\/author\/jcarter\/"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3527"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3545,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527\/revisions\/3545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rocklands.com\/catering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
