After college, Luke started his own business planning large events for others in Kansas City. 10 years and 3 more businesses later Luke figured out there’s a formula to creating success so when Chip and Nick asked Luke to help with a new business that not only makes food taste great but also leaves a legacy for their families and gives back to the community, Luke was in.

​After college Nick went on to work in his family’s business, KLANCE Unlimited, producing live events. In 2019 Nick and his brothers partnered to acquire the premier food event in the area, Taste of St. Louis. Being involved in such a high-profile food event really brought out even more interest in cooking unique and delicious food!​

Chip’s professional accolades also began in college. Finding work cooking at Bella Italia and The Royal New Orleans in Cape Girardeau Missouri. After college, Chip expanded his education in culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts. Soon thereafter Chip settled in as chef at Café Napoli in Clayton Missouri. Chip’s main focus was to enhance the seafood and steak offerings by finding the best herbs and spices that would not only compliment each cut of meat but would draw its distinct flavor out to the consumer.​

​When not in a commercial kitchen you can often find Chip cooking with his two young boys or out on the patio grilling up something delicious for his family and friends.​
