At Humble Pie, we're preserving the flavors of the chicken joints in East Nashville, the bars and saloons of DC and Philadelphia, the late night diners of Atlanta, the homestyle cafés of New Orleans, and the Tex-Mex spots of San Antonio and East LA. We specialize in hot chicken, but we love exploring classic American dishes that hit different and bring back the good memories. We dig deep into the stories behind these flavors and have a blast celebrating them. We've done pop-ups and special experiences locally and internationally to share what we're cooking with new communities. Big things coming soon with new merch, spices, and collaborations.

About Chris

Chris is the engine behind Humble Pie. After studying sociology in college, Chris's interests lie at the intersection of culture, food history, and people. He learned early on as a kid watching his mom run farmers markets in Washington DC. As a teenager seeking a summer job, he got his first taste of gastronomy culture, becoming a salad cook in 2006. From there, his journey took him through BBQ joints, high-end seafood restaurants, crabshacks, and neighborhood saloons before helping launch the award-winning Timber Pizza Company in Washington DC. He eventually made his way to Europe, where he collaborated with innovative food startups like Beets and Roots.

Throughout his career, Chris observed how different social levels of gastronomy—from owners to waitresses to cooks to dishwashers and suppliers—must work together seamlessly. He's navigated the evolving landscape of the industry including the massive change in technology and ethics, and developed a vision to create an environment where everyone can work together toward the same goal. Today, Chris is bringing all that experience and passion to his own venture—Humble Pie.
