Allison is an entrepreneur, CEO, chef and philanthropist. Her earliest memory and meal creation happened when she was still a toddler. Perched on the floor of her family’s Chicago home with a butter knife, a single slice of bread, a container of peanut butter and a jar of jelly, her first culinary creation was born. That memorable sandwich was the catalyst for a life-long love of creating delicious meals, where she graduated to daily sous chef for her Grandmother Lucinda and Mother Everlena, and then on to pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities fueled by her culinary expertise. These memorable cooking experiences led her on a journey she now shares with her husband, four children, and the world.
