wrote an amazing article about us He captured the essence of what we are all about!

I am moved to tears by this piece!

We have worked hard and long to build a place where all feel loved and welcomed, where the "Celebrity Chef" is the chief servant of all!

I try not to boast about all the famous people I have cooked for over the years, because everyone is a star in my eyes and should be treated as such!

I pray this article gives you a glimpse of who I am and what I believe, and in whom I believe. All praise be to God!

Thank you Brain, love you Brother!

Thank you for entrusting the youth in our care, we make a great team! 💚
