Courtney Jermaine Rose-Minor, affectionately known as CJ, has had a love for cooking for as long as he can remember. Growing up he worked on a farm with his grandfather so he rarely went out for meals. He vividly recalls assisting his Grandmother in the kitchen at the early age of 6, while standing on a chair attempting to reach the counter. Being born and raised in a small town in Eastern North Carolina, he was exposed to southern cuisine. As CJ grew older and began to travel, his style of cooking expanded into what you see today. Subsequent years of practical food knowledge and hands-on cooking led CJ to begin his own catering and private cooking business. Chef CJ Rose Cooking and Catering currently serves but is not limited to private dinners, weddings, shower, banquets and seminars.
