Executive Chef
Lee Vance III

 Born and raised in Jackson, Vance graduated from Christ Missionary & Industrial School in Jackson in 2004 and went to work unloading trucks for the United States Postal Service until 2006. In 2009, he opened an event promotion business called 80’s Babies. He met Houston Turnage, who owned Flood’s Bar and Grill, while promoting for his venue. When Turnage passed away, Vance pursued the old Dominos Pizza building outside of his neighborhood, naming it after his grandmother, Josephine.


“Cooking has always run in the family,” Vance says. “My grandmother was a great cook who used to walk every day to her job working at the cafeteria in Baptist Medical Center.


I took up cooking myself and just took to experimenting and blending different things together. Now I got people coming through all day every day, and I’ve seen people line up around the building. It just seems like a blessing from God.”
