Born and raised in Kenner, Louisiana, Chef Melody was raised in a home where the food was as great as the love among family and friends. Melody’s mother was an incredible cook who undoubtedly helped cultivate her interest in the kitchen. After working in the logistics industry for several years, she decided to answer her heart’s call and began catering small events for friends and former colleagues.
In 2015, she and her husband, Antoine, partnered to officially launch Nolasfinest Personal Chef Service. Chef Melody’s dishes have been widely sought after for events by corporate giants such as Union Carbide and Ochsner. In 2018, she was also selected as one of the recipients of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation’s Catapult Fund. The knowledge gleaned from that experience helped to develop her personal identity in the culinary field as well as the direction of the company, collectively. Chef Mel was also honored to be chosen as one of 2020’s Best Chef’s of Louisiana by the American Chef Federation.
Melody believes her life’s work is to ultimately translate her passion for serving others through her inventive culinary creations…each prepared with locally sourced ingredients and heaping amounts of love.
Nolasfinest is currently on par to become the gold standard for corporate and special event catering and Chef Melody is elated to be at the helm on this amazing journey.
