Chef Erika Lipe was born into a family passionate about cuisine and exploring the world through flavor. A native Mississippian, Chef Erika spent most of her childhood travels along the gulf coast. Her family ingrained in Erika a love for music, food and visual arts from all over. Fascinated by diverse cultures, Erika marries together classic techniques and flavors from across the world seamlessly.
"Thinking for yourself, and producing something that was your own was always presented to me as an honorable quest. I think combining styles of food on a menu is as delicate as combining patterns of fabrics in a room. You have to have a really good understanding of the purpose of each of the elements in order for it to be a success. You have to balance all that stuff to make it work. And it’s not easy, but it is fun."
For nearly 20 years, Chef Erika has perfected the art of Twisted Cuisine. But you will never get bored with the menu if she is in charge. Chef Erika is a true creative, constantly discovering new pairings and creating seasonal offerings for her guests to fall in love with. She knows the impact of using fresh ingredients in her cuisine and has partnered with Home Place Pastures - a local farm in Como, MS - to take local ingredients and craft something truly delightful for your taste buds.
