That’s not chicken, babe.
That’s a mushroom in couture. 🍄
Crispy, juicy, seasoned like it trained in the South.
Catch up, cluckers

Sorry for the food bomb lately… actually no I’m not. 😏
Truth is… I really miss serving you all.

It’s been a year and a half since I closed the doors to VHC, a chapter I poured my whole heart into. No regrets, just deep gratitude for the memories, the community, and every single bite we shared.

I miss your faces. I miss the laughs. And I really miss plating up dishes that made you close your eyes and do the happy food dance.

Lately, I’ve been healing, growing, learning, and leaving space for what’s next. I don’t know exactly where I’m headed… but I know it’s gotta involve creativity, connection, and damn good food.

Thank you for sticking with me through it all.
And hey… maybe it’s time for a little backyard pop-up? 👀💭

That one time I turned oyster mushrooms into escargot and honestly… slayed. No snails were harmed, but taste buds were shook.
