Get to know me better
"Hot Chicken Royalty" sharing a near century old menu of fiery fowl and southern fare with a keen eye for making every feast one to remember.
I am a third-generation restauranteur with a knack for frying chicken. I recall being the "pickle bucket girl" at the age of 8 in our family’s restaurant, Prince’s Hot Chicken in Nashville, TN. It was here, that the Prince family was recognized and awarded the creators of Nashville Hot Chicken.
In 2016, I started a pop-up called Hotville Chicken, later opening my first brick-n-mortar in December 2019. It was a beautiful country-chic restaurant in the Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw district. In 2021, I added the DulanVILLE Food Truck to my roster of food ventures along with Greg Dulan, a James Beard Foundation nominee for Outstanding Restaurateur 2022 and 2023.
Hotville Chicken was recognized by Los Angeles Magazine as the best New Restaurant in Jan 2020. Hotville has also been featured in and on: CNN, CBS radio, ABC radio, MSNBC Nightly News, Discovery+, iHeart radio, the NY Times, Infatuation LA, Zagat, Thrillist, The Guardian, and consecutively listed in the LA Times Best 101 (2020-2022).
I am a founding member of Regarding Her Food, a charitable organization created by, and for, women-owned restaurants. Re: HER provides small business grants, mentorship and resources to women owned food businesses. Re: HER has launched chapters in Washington D.C., Boston, and received the esteemed Leadership Award from the James Beard Foundation in 2022.
It's my joy to travel and share my family's legacy of generous southern hospitality spread upon a table amongst friends and kin. I have performed cooking demos, private dinner parties, and large-scale catering for civic and corporate clients from the Mayor of Los Angeles, celebrities, and professional athletes.
