Executive Chef + Owner

Jonetta’s desire to cook and plate food began at an early age, and her initial culinary education was taught by her mom and dad. Being an only child is what allowed her to bond with her parents while she watched them prepare some of her favorite dishes, and that’s when the kitchen became the family’s happy place. She learned the importance of properly seasoning dishes, but, most importantly, she learned the family’s secret Mac & Cheese recipe — one of Food on the Run’s most popular dishes. Cooking for family and friends is how Food on the Run was birthed, which she initially operated by selling dinners right out of her home. Her personal kitchen could no longer handle the volume of requests, and after plotting, planning, praying (and crying), she executed her vision and launched her brick and mortar soul food restaurant.
