Ms. Cherry Lawrence was born in Morbihan, Louisiana into a large family. She and her siblings were raised on a farm where they learned much about cooking. Favorite dishes included mustard greens and okra dishes, biscuits, gumbo, and sweet potato pie. As she grew older, Ms. Lawrence carried with her this love of cooking. She and her husband owned and operated Hungry Po’ Boy in Houston for six years. After her husband’s death, Ms. Lawrence worked at the Medical Center del Oro as assistant to the Food Service Director. Today, she continues to cook for the seniors every week at Lilly Grove Missionary Baptist Church.
