Chris was born and raised into a world of great cooks. His grandfather was an amazing wild game cook. His other grandfather has amazing South Mississippi and Cajun roots. I knew my Junior year of High School that I wanted to be a chef. I entered the 1995 National High School Recipe contest with a wild game recipe. I hunted my own quail so that I would have a supply of those delicious little birds that eventually earned me a scholarship to Johnson & Wales University. Culinary School was a blast. I walked a fine line of typical freshmen antics. I learned a tremendous amount about myself and knew that I would devote my life to "The Biz" and be damn good at it. Being a chef has been a whirlwind of emotions. Showing off what Alabama has to offer is important to me.
