About the
Executive Chef
Some of the best recipes aren’t found in cookbooks. They’re passed down—one lesson, one meal, and one cherished memory at a time.
For Executive Chef Lisa Dillard, her culinary journey began at the hem of her grandmother, Victoria. Sitting close by in the kitchen, Lisa watched, listened, learned, and absorbed the traditions of Southern cooking that would ultimately become the foundation of her craft.
But Lisa didn’t simply inherit her grandmother’s recipes—she made them her own.
With a natural curiosity for food and an instinct for bringing people together around the table, Lisa began putting her own spin on time-honored favorites. Over the years, those recipes evolved into dishes known throughout the surrounding communities for their warmth, flavor, and unmistakable homemade character. What began as lessons learned beside her grandmother grew into a culinary passion—and eventually, a business built on sharing that passion with others.

Today, Lisa brings that same spirit to every event she and her team serve.
She has surrounded herself with a team of talented, committed, and passionate culinary professionals who share her belief that exceptional food is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about the experience. The details. The hospitality. And the feeling people take with them when the last plate has been cleared.
From Victoria’s kitchen to your table, Lisa’s story is one of tradition, creativity, and the belief that good food has a way of bringing people—and memories—together.
