Arriving in OKC 17 years ago after being hired by the historical Skirvin Hotel as its executive chef, Chef Black settled in and has made his home in Oklahoma City as one of its leading small business owners and taste makers with 3 acclaimed restaurants in the growing hospitality group he co-founded, Culinary Edge Concepts.
