Consultant.
Carlos Davis
Born in Barbados, Chef Carlos Davis' earliest memories of food were at the table, watching his mother create delicious meals from seemingly simple ingredients. He was six years old when he started cooking, and though the years has developed his signature style of cooking from the heart (and seldom from a recipe). After graduating from the culinary institute in Barbados, he worked in many different hotels and restaurants (including the Sandy Lane Hotel) with one thing in common: a focus on great quality and service. He moved to Nashville in 1998 to teach and train at the Opryland Hotel, and in 2001 became the garde manager at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. He honed his skills there until he ventured out in 2011 to start Riff's Fine Street Food, one of Nashville's most popular food trucks and catering companies. Heading into its third year, Riff's has become a well-known culinary brand in Nashville, featured on The Cooking Channel and The Travel Channel Carlos has won many awards for its quality and creativity.
