It's an age old story... two friends meet in the sandbox, dream big, grow up and accomplish their goals. Well, kind of. Chefs Cristal Barnard and Cassie Ballard met at the Art Institute of Dallas and became fast friends with big dreams. They both moved off and accomplished great things in the culinary world under some pretty impressive world famous chefs in some pretty infamous restaurants. After some time away they finally brought their talents and experience right back here to Denton. Thank goodness for that. These two whip up culinary delights ensuring only the freshest ingredients. You won't even find a jar of Smuckers in their kitchen. Everything, from the top to the bottom, is made fresh by-hand in-house.

Here are three local videos for your watching pleasure. A video from Wesley Kirk with a behind-the-scenes look at December's Help-Portrait: Denton event, another top-notch video from Fishboy that combines hand drawn animation with real life, and a video from The Hickory St. Project that highlights Hoochies.
