Josh Phillips – Executive Chef

Chef Josh Phillips reputation is built on a goal of culinary perfection. He grew up in a family of many culinary talents. This consisted of his grandparents which taught him the value of dinner with the family. This also continued to grow with a few special talents from his parents. Mom with her style of southern comfort food and Dad with anything goes, and of course his special sauce.

As he attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York in 2001, he sharpened his talent and skills with a flavor of his own.

This love and passion continued with stops in New Orleans as an apprentice at the Red Fish Grill and The Commanders Palace. Most recently at Zink and Mez in Charlotte, North Carolina which both concentrated on fine dining comfort food. Chef Josh chose to provide Hickory and the surrounding areas with the best of both, fine dining comfort food with the exciting casual dining atmosphere at a value for all.
