Chef Sly's motto is: "I Don't Just Cook Food, I Create An Experience."

We were drooling over the collard greens that Chef Sly cooked up for us today. He even brought in the pulled pork and cornbread. We also talked with Chef Sly about the cultural significant of this dish! And just so you don’t get jealous of hearing us talk about just how delicious these greens were, here’s the recipe.
