Me'Khelle "Chef Markell” Magee Sr was born and raised in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, nestled within the picturesque San Fernando Valley. His roots, however, extended far beyond the California coast, with his mother hailing from the iconic New Orleans 6th Ward, a neighborhood renowned for its historic French Quarters. Meanwhile, his father's origins lay in the quaint town of Franklinton, Louisiana. It was this diverse heritage that would play a significant role in shaping his culinary journey.
From an early age, Chef Markell found himself captivated by the world of flavors and aromas that filled his family's kitchen. Guided by his mother's expertise and influenced by the rich Creole and Cajun culinary traditions, he took his first steps into the culinary world by lending a helping hand in preparing family dinners. This nurturing environment kindled a deep passion for cooking that would eventually become his life's calling.
