Born in Katy, Tx Nathan grew up in a family that ate dinner together every night of the week- making food a big part of his life. His grandmother had owned a bakery in Yoakum, Tx so there was no shortage of cakes and pies around the house.

Sarah Heard grew up in Conroe, Texas watching her mom and grandmother cook from scratch, developing a taste for food that is crafted, not produced.

Nathan attended culinary school at The Art Institute in Houston and worked his way through the best restaurants in Houston including Tony’s, Voice, and Stella Sola. He moved to Austin to work at the newly opened Foreign & Domestic and soon took on the Chef de Cuisine position.
