About Cody

Chef Cody is from a small town in central Texas. He grew up in the restaurant industry and has been in love with food since he was a child.

Growing up he remembers helping his dad cook, prep, and most importantly, taste all of the dishes and recipes he executed. Food is more than physical nourishment in his eyes—it brings people together and gives you a story about the person who made it for you. Eating is more than what it is. For him, it's a depiction of the way one sees, hears, smells, feels, and thinks. At the young age of 21, he says. "It's so nice to be able to provide someone with a meal that could change someone's perspective of how the world is today." He further states, "I think that if everyone were to sit down, break bread, and share a home-cooked meal, this world would be a better place."

His session at the seminar, "Cooking with Cody," will demonstrate the art of home-made tortilla making, and recount the history of "al Pastor"---thinly sliced pork that has been seasoned with chili peppers and pineapple and roasted on a vertical spit.
