Hey y’all, we’re Michel Cardone and Charlie Harper, two chefs with different roots but the same heartbeat when it comes to cooking. One of us hails from the soulful streets of New Orleans, where gumbo bubbles on the stove and recipes are passed down like heirlooms. The other grew up where BBQ smoke fills the Texas air, where every meal is a reason to gather and celebrate. Together, we bring those flavors, stories, and traditions to your kitchen.
We didn’t come from culinary academies or posh restaurants. We came from home kitchens, backyard grills, neighborhood diners, and road trips fueled by a love of good food and better company. We’ve both burned our fair share of dishes, but every mishap taught us something new. Our combined style is all about bold flavors, soulful comfort, and food that feels like a warm welcome.
Whether it’s a pot of slow-cooked jambalaya or a rack of ribs smoked to perfection, we believe cooking should be fearless and fun. No fancy gadgets, no stiff rules—just a dash of passion, a spoonful of curiosity, and the confidence to trust your instincts. We’re here to help home cooks and food lovers of all kinds feel at home in the kitchen.
So pull up a chair, grab a plate, and let’s make something delicious together. From our hearts to your table, welcome to the flavor-filled world of Michel and Charlie.
