History

Established in 2013.

A veteran of kitchens in some of America’s great food cities (San Francisco, New Orleans, and Boston) I moved to Memphis when my wife accepted a great job here. Cooking is both an art and a craft (hence our name) — by opening this business I have the flexibility to showcase these aspects while also doing something else I love — teaching others the culinary skills I feel so passionate about and that are useful for a lifetime.
