Our Story

Meet Chef Dante & Sous Chef Marilin

Mama Cole's was born where two food traditions meet — the soul food of the American South and the home cooking of the Dominican Republic. Chef Dante and Sous Chef Marilin cook the way family does: generously, patiently, and with a whole lot of love. Pull up a chair. You're home.
