Chef Phillip’s culinary roots began with his grandmother’s cooking. Childhood memories of Sunday lunch at grandma’s watching her “cook up a storm” to feed her family inspired his early love of cooking for others. He entered the restaurant business as a dishwasher and tried his hand at other roles until eventually making his way onto the cooking line.

Since then, he has worked in many kitchens and served thousands of happy customers. Chef Phillip has also competed and placed in multiple international cooking competitions, creating a national following for his famous gumbo. Today, he offers his culinary talents through Chef Phillip’s Creative Foods, a catering and private chef service serving Mississippi & beyond.
