His versatility, his fresh, bold flavors, and the authenticity which he cooks with will make you want to run into the kitchen immediately and grab your favorite cast iron pan. He somehow seamlessly is able to stay true to his soulful southern style, while introducing us to global combinations of flavors that only he could put together. I only wish I could see the smile on your faces when you take the first bite of his coconut-curry collard greens with pineapple-cornbread gremolata!" -- Chef Brooke Williamson
