Epps started collecting flavor memories at a young age by traveling the world with his military mom.After graduating from culinary school, he gained experience at The Greenbrier in West Virginia and worked closely with chef Marcus Samuelsson, his mentor, on Samuelsson’s projects in London, Sweden, Bermuda, the Bahamas and Miami, where he gained a following before opening his own restaurant..
