Get to know me better

Accomplished chef and baker with a career-long commitment to creating delicious, inviting, and authentic experiences.

I am a chef and baker based in Durham, North Carolina, whose career has been shaped by curiosity, craft, and a love of feeding people well. For more than two decades, I have built restaurants that feel like extensions of my own kitchen—places where the rhythm of the seasons, the work of farmers, and the joy of a shared table.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

My food is rooted in Southern ingredients and traditions, but never bound by them. I strive to craft delicious food with depth in flavor and context.

I learned to cook at...

I started working in kitchens in my early 20’s, eventually landing at the esteemed Magnolia Grill and running their pastry department.

A cooking secret...

Simplicity over performance. Quality ingredients speak for themselves.
