Executive chef Christi Preddy was born and raised in North Carolina. In addition to a formal education, Christi trained under chef Christian Clements during her internship at Figure Eight Island.

Christi discovered her niche for catering while training under chef Lottie Arnold at A Southern Thyme in Wilmington, NC. Once relocating to the triangle, Christi trained under chef Tom Ferguson of Durham Catering Company. This is where Christi learned the importance of supporting local farmers and procuring as much as possible from within this region. Christi likes the food to speak for itself by using clean, subtle flavors.
