I’m a classically trained chef, born and raised in North Carolina. During my summers as an undergrad at the UNCW, I worked in an oceanfront resort on Wrightsville Beach. It was there I discovered my love for the hospitality industry and grew to know that attending culinary school would be my next big adventure…so I headed to Johnson & Wales University in Denver, CO. Learning classical French culinary techniques helped me discover my passion for food and nutrition. After graduation, I returned to North Carolina to apply my knowledge and skills in an a variety of restaurant kitchens, including fine dining, bakeries, and event catering. My husband and I later moved to the Outer Banks, and ran a small B&B on Hatteras Island. Our commitment to ensuring our guests’ received the best experience was honored by the TripAdvisor Excellence award for five consecutive years. I emphasize local, organic ingredients in all my menus and focus on the small details that make an ordinary meal extraordinary. It’s my pleasure to share a table with you.
