Meet The Chef

Meals By Mel, founded in 2016 by Melissa, celebrates traditional, family-oriented Southern comfort food. Driven by a passion for cooking and connecting with people, Melissa’s slogan, “a taste of home, away from home,” captures her devotion to serving delicious food that sparks feelings of warmth and belonging. Melissa’s dream is to open a restaurant in the heart of Houston, bringing her comforting southern flavors to the Greater Houston area and beyond.
