Chef Tony Cannon grew up in the restaurant world, starting at the age of Fourteen. After working in kitchens for 15 years, Tony attended The Art Institute of Nashville for culinary school. He owns 2 food businesses: a seasoning company called That Rub, and a local food truck specializing in Southern Comfort Food, Aunt Tina's Sound Bites. Tony is a culinary artist and loves to create in the kitchen, which is how the seasoning company was started. When he realized that people wanted to not just buy the seasoning, but food made with it, he decided with his wife (and General Manager of Cooking Skills & Social) Abbey that a food truck would be a perfect way to showcase a menu featuring the seasonings! You may already recognize Tony, as he's taught classes on a part time basis for Cooking Skills since we relaunched, however during the slow food truck season, he is here quite a bit more often, leading both public cooking classes and private events.
