The Texas native hasbrtaken an untraditional path to becoming a staple in homes and kitchens aroundbrthe world. Chef Meika “MiMi J” Johnson vacated her position as a global accountbrcoordinator for Ricoh USA after 10 years with the company to launch her ownbrprivate, upscale catering business in 2015. The wife and mom used herbrlove, talent and passion for cooking as a means to generate extra income, andbrthat quickly grew into a lucrative, sustainable career that got her thebrattention of several high-profile chefs including Chef Richard Pratt, who hiredbrher to oversee his Iron Chef events at the Space in Dallas. Soon MiMi was beingbrsought after to appear on top cooking programs around the country.
MiMi credits her decadentbrdishes to a rich food history deeply rooted in Louisiana and East Texas familybrinfluences. While she specializes in Southern cooking, MiMi has also carved outbra niche in the private sector doing healthy food prep for many of her clientsbrand as a traveling chef for the super elite.
