sam armstrong - grill master, head chef
Sam's love of cooking originated from his grandmother and grandfather that used to own a Polish restaurant in Michigan. When he joined the Navy after high school he completed their culinary program and began working in his ships kitchen feeding 70-100 pilots and officers every day. He moved to Florida in 2017 where he met Melanie shortly after. His love of cooking is evident when you sample his perfectly grilled steaks and smoked meats!
