Long before I was cooking on the Blackstone Griddle, I grew up in Mabel’s Restaurant, where my parents owned and operated the business. From washing dishes to prep cook, line cook, and eventually kitchen manager, that’s where my passion for cooking truly began.
Those years taught me that great food is about more than recipes. It’s about hard work, family, and bringing people together around the table.
Today, every meal I make on my Blackstone is a reflection of the lessons I learned growing up in the restaurant business.
