OUR CHEF

Chef John grew up in Charlotte, N.C. where he instantly developed a love and passion for food.  Adults were stunned by the types of food that he would eat at a young age.  His mom worked in a cafeteria for several years and is known around Charlotte and the surrounding area for her desserts.  His dad would make smoked turkeys, ribs, and chicken for families during Thanksgiving and Christmas.  

When Chef John was 12 years old, he started selling sandwiches in the neighborhood and fell in love with entrepreneurship and cooking for others.  After attending Georgia State University, he spent 6 years in the Army National Guard as he continued to develop his vision for a catering company.

In 2014, he started Uncle Jack’s BBQ Shack which focused on the smoked meats he learned from his father and uncles.  He has since converted Uncle Jack’s BBQ Shack into Miller’s Catering Company, where he sells all types of food and he has even created a BBQ Sauce which he sells under his food and beverage company, Family Food and Beverage.  He is known for his kitchen creativity with dishes and unique seasoning skills. Chef John is currently starring on the TV show, Eat, Drink, and Handle Your Business which airs on The Reewind Network. Eat, Drink, and Handle Your Business has been honored as a finalist for Best Home Chef in a Series at the 13th Annual Taste Awards and The Bob Saget Comedy and Humor Award at the 14th Annual Taste Awards.
