We had the good fortune of connecting with Chef Ericka and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chef Ericka, how do you think about risk?

Risk takers in my opinion are unique strong minded winners. Simple as that!

If you don’t take risk your playing it safe and playing it safe only makes you average, I never want to be average! I want to leave my mark in this world! I want people to remember my food and my name for centuries!

I have taken losses with Savory Souls Kitchen, I have lost money, time, and client’s, however I was able to gain experience you know, I was able to educate myself on how to operate the next time which to me was my most valuable take away.

I never want to stop winning and receiving blessings or becoming a better person all around.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

I’m a Chef Ericka out of Dallas Texas, I specialize in delicious food.

I cook all types of food from Italian, to west African, you name it and I’ll make it! Guaranteed satisfaction.

My business is called Savory Souls kitchen. Currently I’m working towards having my own restaurant by the end of 2024, right here in Dallas Tx. I currently make meals from my home and hand deliver them. I also cater weddings, large parties and meal preps.

I can say getting started was the easy part staying motivated throughout the troubles or hard times hasn’t been so fun. However I will Never give up, I’m going to make my dreams come true!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Dallas is my favorite city, and my favorite thing to do is eat!!! I would definitely recommend “Boiling Crab” “super shack” both are delicious seafood places, also I would try candy shack it’s a daiquiri spot the drinks are delicious and served with candy. I would definitely end the week at a nice church my favorite is The Covenant located in Carrollton.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

I’d love to shout out My God, he never left my side, he showed up for me no matter the time day, or place, thanks for my shelter within your heart. Shouting out my lord for all my losses all of my wins and all of what’s to come!! SHOUTOUT TO YOU GOD!

“It’s important to do it when you don’t feel like it, do it when no one is cheering you on, do it when u cry, do it when no one is watching, just make sure you are doing what your called to do.
