Angela was raised in Georgia with both a japanese and a southern grandmother. As a child, she had a varied menu with foods like fried rice, dumplings gyozo, sweet tempura fritters, fried chicken, tomato gravy, and hominy. And a mother who baked fresh breads, cakes and pies. Clearly, this was the foundation of a lifelong passion with food that would grow into a career. Even more today, food is a central part of time spent with family and friends. She gets much satisfaction from sharing her knowledge of food. Chef U is about sharing that knowledge with the people of Birmingham.
