Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Chef Tu built her culinary journey on hustle, heart, and family. A proud mother of five, she took a leap of faith in 2016, selling dinners to coworkers and companies and earning $867 her very first time; sparking a passion that changed her life. That moment led her to culinary school, where she graduated in 2019. Since then, she's catered everything from weddings and corporate events to baby showers and birthdays. Above all, her favorite gatherings are family reunions, because nothing means more to her than feeding family. For Chef Tu, every meal is personal.
