Grandma Told Me So how about You? Detroit has a wealth of talent that has left the city; myself included. I’m back standing for my city because of the opportunities I see transitioning in our city. We should turn our sights back to our city and bring our talents back home. We hope to be a catalyst in this transition by helping to lead the way back home. Please support me in my funding efforts. Donating even five bucks will go a long way in getting me to my goal. If you are able to donate please share..

My Story.. As a child I was raised around good food and faith in God that he would provide as long as I followed what was inate in my heart to do good.

Traveling down south as a child in an RV every year to visit great aunts and there farm to watch them grow and raise cattle and also slaughter animals. It instilled a curiosity for food even then.  I have always been attracted to food working in restaurants my whole life in the front of the house. 

Running away from my life in Detroit trying to discover what being a man was. What my purpose and passion was. I move to New York City 2005. While there I had a moment of clarity; my life flashed before my eyes while standing in a friends kitchen preparing food as I have always done most of my life. I didnt no until that moment that I loved cooking. In that moment I saw when I fell in love with food and remembered that I was my grandmothers helper as she was the best cook in our church. I had been cooking food and changing family recipes my whole life.

I went to culinary school for a short time. Immediately started my own catering company in NY Comfort Zone Cookng Service. 10 years I trained in the culinary field back of the house in kitchens for a total of 20 years working in restaurants. I know i look young lol but I got a few years on me.. This is where the dream of owning my own restaurant came to fruition. Wanting to be back with my family; I am now home Detroit; to open Grandma Told Me So Eatery after the joy of food was instilled in me by my grandmother. I need your help to help me make my dreams come true. Ive raised money but its not enough.  grandmatoldmeso.com
