We had the good fortune of connecting with Natasha Young-Jarmon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Natasha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process in starting The Heir’s Table was to have a place of learning for all ages through experiences through food.

As an adult I think back to all my great memories of my grandmothers were through food and family celebrations around the table.

Learning how to cook from my grandmothers hand being the heir to all of their recipes, learning the processes using all five senses.

I loved that memory and wanted to be able to create a safe space for all ages.

To have an experience by having a seat simply at the table without prejudice but for love of food cooking and entertainment.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The Heir’s Table can best be described as a Food Emporium everything food and entertainment. It is a safe place for cooking without prejudice, Rather you are a chef or home cook old or young. You can cook with me or I can cook for you.

We specialize in cooking classes, private dinning, children’s birthday parties, and cooking camps, for all ages.

Everyone is welcome to have a seat at The Heir’s Table.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I wanted to show a friend a great time in Houston, it would be of course through food, cocktails, and music.

We would check into a Marriott Marquist hotel with the pool in the shape of Texas

Friday night would start at The Savoy for cocktails and The Loaded Fries.

Saturday we would the satisfy the kid in me and ride the Ferris wheel and take the adult side to a wine tasting at Pur Noire
Later dine at Burns Bbq for some bbq Texas style on some of their ribs and the whole Burns experience!

Sunday would end with brunch at Lucille’s Shrimp and Grits

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My person would be both my maternal and paternal grandmothers.

The late Dr. Alene Young my paternal grandmother, who gave me the gift of entrepreneurship. She taught me anything was possible with hard work and a plan. She was a black woman who never worked for anyone but herself born in 1927, opened the first black salon and charm school in the state of Oklahoma.
Also one of the first black women to receive her doctoral degree in Cosmetology.
She showed me how to be a lady and Girl Power at an early age in the salon.

The late Annie Bonner Sheppard my maternal grandmother gave me her patience, time and knowledge of etiquette, food and spice pairings. She trained me by her side as cooked privately in homes. I often would tag along as she she created magnificent spreads for others as well as at her home for family gatherings. I went to her house every Friday by request and stay until Sunday. She never said no, to me coming.

Our weekends were filled with menu planning on what we would eat daily and cooking along side her. She was a lady very formal and served you with linen napkins and a set table.
