Originally from Elberton, GA, a small town where my love for food and community was sparked by cooking with my grandma and gathering for large Sunday family dinners, I’ve always believed that food is more than just a meal—it’s a way to connect. Those early moments in the kitchen laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for cooking and bringing people together through shared meals.
After attending college in Augusta, GA, I spent nearly a decade there before making my home in Charlotte, NC. It was in Charlotte that my culinary curiosity truly flourished as I discovered the city’s vibrant restaurant scene, food and drink specials, and exciting things to do. Inspired by my experiences, I decided to create a website to serve as a guide for others to explore the best places to eat, drink, and play in Charlotte—helping people save money while still enjoying all the amazing spots the city has to offer. Alongside restaurant recommendations, I share my own recipes, adding a personal touch to the site.
As my food adventures grew, I expanded to social media, sharing my journey on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The response has been incredible, amassing over 300,000 followers who, like me, have a deep love for all things food. Now, I’m not just discovering local gems; I love to travel to new cities and countries, sharing my experiences with my community of fellow food lovers.
Whether I’m exploring a new dish in a local restaurant, whipping up something at home, or savoring a meal in another part of the world, I’m always excited to share my culinary journey with those who believe, like I do, that food is the ultimate way to connect.
