COLORADO SPRINGS — Cooking in the Army, graduating from The Culinary Institute of America , working as a chef at The Broadmoor — Tom Gillispie said nothing has been better than his latest kitchen endeavor of working the line alongside his wife and six kids at his mobile restaurant, Po' Brothers.
Tom's journey with food began when he was just 14-years-old. He worked as a cashier at a McDonald's, quickly making his way to a family restaurant where, just two years later, he moved up the food chain to line cook.He was eventually deployed for two tours in Iraq with the U.S. Army where he spent time cooking alongside soldiers from the U.S.' southern states.
Born from necessity, using unwanted elements and all pieces of raw ingredients is a part of Cajun culture's history with poverty, an element, the Gillispies said, the food still serves in Knob Hill.Sylvia explained that it was poor communities that turned many of these discarded parts of food into some of today's most well-known dishes.Tom said he wants to provide food to the families of the Knob Hill community that is both affordable and nutritious.
The family spoke about the area's sense of community support and said they have only experienced the touch of a lending hand.
