MEALS PREPPED YOUR WAY!
When Seared Pink was founded, meal prep services were still a new concept in the food industry. The idea for Seared Pink came from experiencing a lack of freedom and flavor in existing meal prep options. Chef Pinky believes that maintaining a nutritious diet shouldn't mean compromising on taste. We specialize in creating meals that benefit those with health concerns such as Diabetes, Parkinson's, post-surgery recovery, feeding tube requirements, fitness goals, and more.
Our service combines a fine dining approach with a focus on variety and portion control, demonstrating that healthy meals can be delicious.
In response to increased demand during the pandemic, we expanded our offerings to include catering and personal chef services. Whether you need a meal plan to support your health or a gourmet dining experience at home, Seared Pink provides flavorful, nutritious meals that cater to your unique needs and preferences.
We are also proud to partner with Reaching Beyond Bars, a nonprofit organization, to offer free meals to seniors and families living in motels through our Meals for All program. At Seared Pink, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy the freedom and joy of delicious and healthful eating without barriers. Visit us to learn more about how we can support your dietary needs and bring a touch of fine dining to your everyday life.
Meet The Team
CEO/EXECUTIVE CHEF
Chef Pinky
Meet Chef Pinky, a culinary trailblazer who always had a love for cooking since the age of seven. Her nickname “Pinky” was affectionately given to her by her grandmother as an infant. Following a challenging upbringing in Atlanta, where she experienced homelessness during her childhood, She left home at 16 determined to carve out a path as a chef and break generational curses and create generational wealth. Being the third of four siblings, she wanted to ease the burden on her mother who was a single parent. Lacking life skills, she made numerous mistakes as a young adult, leading to unstable living situations. Breaking into a predominantly white male-dominated field as a young black lesbian with no formal culinary training posed significant initial hurdles in her career. Her culinary expertise was refined through experiences at esteemed establishments like Affairs to Remember and St. Cecilia, where she collaborated with some amazing chefs. She now serves as the Executive Chef and owner of Seared Pink where they believe that meals should be prepped YOUR WAY. Specializing in catering to clients with specific dietary requirements, she also offers southern comfort food reminiscent of home-cooked meals. Understanding that not everyone focuses on calorie counting, Chef Pinky also educates clients on the importance of healthy eating practices.
