MORE ABOUT OUR CHEF

​

1. I grew up on a small farm in Evergreen Alabama, where we pretty much grew everything that we ate.

 

2. I first discovered my love for food when my sister and I was stationed in Korea. She got so sick from missing home. I figured if I could bring a piece of home to her it would make her feel better. So I cooked  her  favorite meal and it not only made het feel better but the smell  of the food made other Soldiers want a plate an they were all sharing stories and eating. That’s when it hit me and I started cooking for the Soldiers every Sunday for 23 years. 

 

 

3. I have Two kids, Tiana (22) and Jayden (16).  I also have two dogs Nova and Max. 

 

4. What is my favorite thing to cook?

I love to cook barbecue.  Every time my dad would light the grill I knew two things;  Family was coming over and I was gonna eat good.  

  

5. I love feeding the Seniors in the community. Two days a week I do a Seniors breakfast . I just love the history and the stories they tell you about life and food. We really can learn a lot from them.
