She is of Gullah\/Geechee descent, a term used to describe a distinct group of African Americans living in the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia who have managed to preserve much of their West African language, culture, and cuisine. Her love for cooking started in her grandmother&#8217;s kitchen, learning to cook Gullah dishes that were passed down from her mother. Although she loved cooking as a hobby, Kardea did not envision herself pursuing a career within the culinary field. Instead, she obtained a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Psychology and embarked on a career in Social Services. But in 2013, she switched gears and began to pursue cooking. She created The New Gullah Supper Club, traveling from state to state cooking traditional Gullah dishes with a contemporary twist. Kardea has since made dozens of guest television appearances on shows such as ABC&#8217;s<em> The Chew<\/em> and Food Network&#8217;s <em>Farmhouse Rules<\/em>, <em>BBQ Blitz<\/em>, <em>The Kitchen, Chopped Jr., Beat Bobby Flay<\/em>, and <em>Cooks vs. Cons<\/em>. Additionally, she has her own show on the Food Network, Delicious Miss Brown, which is currently in its 5th season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>discovery+ and OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today &#8220;The Great Soul Food Cook-Off,&#8221; a first-of-its-kind soul food cooking competition series celebrating Black chefs and the Black culinary traditions that are the cornerstone of American cuisine.
