Chef Stephanie Perry is a food fanatic that cooks with her heart & soul. Her love of cooking began at the age of 8 when she attempted to make doughnuts for her mother on Mother’s Day.

She became one of the early mentors of Stephanie’s career.  Stephanie’s father, a self-proclaimed Pitmaster, taught Stephanie the art of grilling at an early age.
