ALBANY – While years of culinary experience separate chefs Chakakhan Fuller-Howard and Unique Pierce, the two have one thing in common: Their love for cooking has familial roots.

Fuller-Howard, Albany State’s chef and catering manager, and Pierce, a 22-year-old ASU junior Biology major, both said they grew up surrounded by talented cooks within their families. They have memories of soul food made from scratch – collard greens, mac and cheese, and homemade biscuits.
