He was born and bred in Charlotte, North Carolina, and learned cooking at his mama's knee. He splits his time between New York City and East Hampton, Long Island, where he uses Yankee flour, much to his mother's dismay.

She is one of the few cooks to be invited to conduct courses at the prestigious Cipriani Hotel Cooking School in Venice. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
