MEET THE CHEF
Chef Chris Harkleroad
My Opinion
never trust a skinny chef
My love of cooking started as a child. As a young child i cooked my with my grandmothers who were both great country cooks.
I grew up with influences from German, Latin, and country cooking. One grandmother lived in Florida and although was raised country she was exposed to Cuban and Puerto Rican styles.
The other was a master of slow cooked hearty food and Baked goods.
My father was also an inspiration showing me that it was ok to be a tough guy and a great cook. And never tried to stop me from my passion. He also taught me the love of grilled and smoked meats.
My wife Stephanie also has helped me to see my dreams of bringing my style of food and has always stood by me.
As for me I have spent my life learning to combine Sweet, Salty, Savory, Spicy, And Smokey into the best BBQ. I hope you agree.
