Devon had a passion for cooking . Although he loved cooking and his work as a young chef , Devon had envisioned himself in the US Marines serving his country. For the past six years, Devon had worked as a chef/chef’s assistant in several different restaurants including Bu-ku in Wake Forest and most recently in The Eddy Pub in the quaint little town of Saxapahaw, North Carolina. Devon was known and loved for preparing delicious homemade meals for his friends and family using the techniques and amazing recipes he learned while working as a chef/ chef assistant.
