The Nappy
Chef
If it ain't NAPPY, it's CRAPPY
Cooking since 13 in Atlanta. Apprenticed under Chef John Makin. Scratch Southern soul, Caribbean fire, and international twists with zero shortcuts.
Catering in 2014. Truck in 2017. Charlotte restaurant on Albemarle in 2018. Best Restaurant '21. Best Wings '22. Then Tampa Bay and the LPGA Tour. Same mission: make culture taste expensive.
