Meet Chef G

LaRonda Woods-Graham, professionally known as Chef G, is a culinary entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in the kitchen and over 20 years as a business owner. She is the founder of Seasoned Café & Catering and the author and creator of From Conception to Customers — a book and training module designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs turn their vision into a viable business.

Chef G's culinary style reflects an upscale and eclectic take on Southern cooking, inspired by the traditional cooking she learned from her grandmother, elevated through thoughtful ingredient choices, fresh produce, and refined techniques. Her goal is not to change the soul of Southern cooking — it is to honor it, elevate it, and share it.

At the heart of everything Chef G does is a deep love for people. Watching others experience and enjoy her creations brings her immeasurable joy — and that joy is rooted in something greater. Chef G operates from a place of faith, viewing her work in the kitchen and in business as marketplace ministry — using food, hospitality, and entrepreneurship as a vehicle to serve, uplift, and connect her community.

For Chef G, food has always been about more than recipes. It is about hospitality, connection, and community — and ultimately, about purpose.
