Patria was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. It was at the age of 7 in her grandmother's home where she discovered her passion for food and cooking. She always found herself helping her grandmother with family recipes while experimenting and creating her own. As she grew older her world travels sparked a curiosity for various cuisines. Honing in on her passion  of culinary arts she joined the restaurant industry  where she gained over a decade

of experience in fine dining restaurants throughout

West Michigan. Working in both the FOH and BOH,

she often daydreamed of one day owning her own

piece of the food industry. 

​

Fast forward to  2019,  it has been over a year since a friend  asked her  to cater their birthday party. Which led to several referrals that brought her here to you!
