Over the years he has worked hard to
develop his gift of making folks happy with his food and has his own sauce line and fish batters in Kroger grocery stores. Even though his product is made local here in our music city you can find it near the seafood aisle as far away as Texas. Chef Silver is a up and coming Southern cook that also began his love for food at an early age. His first memories are of helping his grandmother can vegetables and leaning about produce from his Grandfather whom was a farmer native to Tennessee as well.Being born into a military family he spent a great deal of his life growing up on naval bases where he learned a great deal of ethnic cooking techniques but Southern "Soul" food is where his passion is.
