Chef In Residence: Ford Fry

Ford Fry founded Rocket Farm Restaurants in 2007 and currently oversees its prolific portfolio of 23 restaurants in markets including Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Houston, and Cary, NC. Rocket Farm Restaurants include some of the South’s most beloved concepts, including Beetlecat, St. Cecilia, The Optimist, Superica, La Lucha, State of Grace, and more. While the concepts each have their own identity, they share a commitment to their respective communities and to serving exceptional food made with local ingredients and attention to detail.
