~ Council (Tre) Turner III ~

Welcome to my world, Chef Council Dean Turner III, (Chef Tre) Also known as the vitiligo chef. Other news, everything about food I love! I gravitated to it and never looked back. My mother and both grandmothers are my inspiration behind my love for food. Stated by each of them at different times, “If you want to learn how to cook this, you have to get in here!"Cooking helps me deal with my skin disease called vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition in which the pigment is lost from areas of the skin, causing whitish patches, often with no clear cause. I will never forget great friend of mine Keon Davis (Owner of SmoothnGroove) stated, “You should own that! DO YOU REALIZE HOW BLESSED YOU ARE TO HAVE VITILIGO, YOU’RE THE VITILIGO CHEF AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM YOU.” Since then, I have owned my condition and ran with it, and I am not ashamed of who I am. Just trying to express myself through food the best way I know. With my food, every bite is captured with passion, soul, detail & genuine love from a southern man that loves what he does.I created all my success to the many Chefs’ that befriended me, mentored me on my culinary journey, my father (A Pitmaster) for putting the batteries in my back and saying “BE GREAT SON” & my lovely wife Victoria Turner. She has always believed in me, even as a fry cook claiming to become a famous Chef one day.
