Chef Eboni Bowman is the founder of Flavor Atlanta and has turned her lifelong love of cooking into a small Georgia-based business that offers personal chef services, meal preparation, cooking classes and catering. I changed. Both of Eboni’s grandmothers were good cooks and bakers, but one was a professional caterer. Eboni started helping them in the kitchen when she was five years old. She studied art at the Institute of Atlanta’s Culinary School and has over 20 years of experience in the culinary and hospitality industry. For more information on her business, Flavor Atlanta.com.
In this episode, we talk to Chef Eboni Bowman about how she expanded her sole proprietorship into a full-service catering service. Learn how she grew her business, used outsourcing, focused on what she does best, and built her business with low overhead (and debt).
“Just having people who can do that and letting them do what they’re good at, just letting me do what I can do, what I’m good at, it’s so peaceful and so much better for me. ” – Ebony Bowman
