Chef Devin Marie
Executive Chef and Owner of Fresh Fruit
If step stools could talk, it would tell you of Saturday mornings when pancakes and eggs were being perfected, and of a future Chef whose love for food could be felt down in her tiny toes. “I can’t remember if it was the food or the joy of eating that inspired me. I think it was both”
​
A Native of Mobile, AL, Low Country and Southern Cuisine are imbedded in her DNA. Her earliest and fondest memories were these moments in the kitchen with family. Chef Devin Marie’s career started at the age of 16, when the grocery store manager needed her to help in the bakery because they were short staffed. From that day forth she never left the kitchen. After graduation, Chef Devin Marie pursued her education at Johnson and Wales University, Charleston, SC. Where she received an Associates in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor in Foodservice Management. Her experience extends across country clubs, such as Country club of the South, Alpharetta, GA; Resorts and Hotels such as Lake Lanier Resort, Buford, GA, Hilton Atlanta Downtown, and our very own Battle House Hotel, Mobile, AL. She has even served as Event Manager at The University of Alabama ROLL TIDE, where she was over 5 elite club levels over seeing the service of more than 3,000+ guest on any given game day.
​
Her passion these days are to serve her community spiritually and naturally. She has been a faithful servant and minister at It Is Finished Ministries by the Blood of Jesus Christ for more than 12 years. Being a mother of three handsome boys, she hopes to instill in them that same heart of service. “I hope to leave a legacy of love, compassion, grace and a willingness to be accountable while growing in resilience.”
