The Legacy
This good-looking guy is…
Maurice “Chico” Harrell, my beloved maternal grandfather, whom I affectionately refer to as “Papa! or Baby!”
I can remember the days of sitting at the kitchen table, with mountains of ingredients laid out, preparing to create orders for family and friends. All My Children or Guiding Light would be playing in the background. He would have his cup of black coffee and I would have my cup of orange juice. At first, I was only designated to crack the dozens of eggs in a separate bowl and became the human mixer as I stirred the cream cheese. Every weekend and summer days, Papa and I would sit at the kitchen table making his signature Strawberry Cheesecake. As time progressed, I learned every secret to the makings of the perfect cheesecake. Since the age of 12, moments such as these became the purest form of peace and happiness for me. In honor of my baby, I share with you a piece of my peace and happiness in the form of delicious cheesecakes.
The menu will continue to grow as we continue to share Chico’s legacy with every experience!
