Larry Kearns
Sous Chef
Larry is a dedicated and highly skilled Sous Chef with a rich background that blends military precision with culinary passion. Transitioning from the role of Staff Sergeant in the Air Force to a culinary professional, he brings exceptional execution and team development skills to the kitchen.
A graduate of The Art Institute of Atlanta, Larry has cultivated a deep appreciation for all cuisines. Chinese and Italian cuisines are his personal favorites, nurtured from a young age by his Great Grandmother who began teaching him how to cook at just six years old. This early exposure sparked a lifelong love for food and the joy it brings to others.
Larry's culinary achievements include winning 1st place at the ACF Chili Cookoff and receiving a prestigious Commander's Coin from the Vice Commander of the Joint Air Defense Force (JADF).
