Meet Our Shefs

Shef Bold Flavor- Once reprimanded by her father at age 16 to "Bridle her eating passions," has finally renounced her dependance on fast food dollar menus. (Feb. 22, 2011 was the last day she ever ate Taco Bell). Motivated desperately by a desire NOT to start, or be dependent on medications her whole life, found that indeed, food is her medicine, and medicine her food as Hippocrates said.
