Our Story
Traditional Techniques to Create Modern Dishes
Chef James Paige began his culinary journey working at restaurants such as Le Peep and Sizzler Steak House. After working in these types of kitchens, Chef Paige realized he could bring something unique to the residents of Tucker, GA and the rest of the metro Atlanta area. He originally opened Collard Green Cafe as the Paige Catering Company. He specialized in corporate catering, but due to the response he was given by the community, he moved to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant as well as continue the catering operations. From developing the menus, supervising the preparation of meals, and managing all the daily operations, including demonstrating new cooking techniques to the staff, Chef is dedicated to bringing his customers’ traditional southern soul food with modern inspirations that keep them well-fed and coming back for more.
