Serving the Culture

Chef Jamie Barnes was born in Newport News, VA. Growing up around Southern cuisine combined with a love for Food Network, he enrolled in Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte in 2004. Barnes would go on to work with Harpers Restaurant Group and Ballantyne County Club among other notable places. Gaining a passion for the food truck scene, Barnes acquired a truck with College friend Greg Williams and started What The Fries food truck. Operating since 2015, they now have a brick and mortar. Currently, Jamie also oversees the Culinary aspects of Serving The Culture, a music-based Pop-Up Dinner Series. Jamie hopes to open a small cafe style eatery / bakery based on Virginia/ Southern foods in the future. He currently lives in Clover, SC (right outside of Charlotte NC) with his wife Alicia, and 3 children, Lily, Levi & Lane.
