Meet HL Catering Co. Founder & Chef Houston Loper
Chef Houston Loper’s love for food began in childhood. He grew up in a family with women who loved to cook and who also happened to be very good cooks. Houston cultivated his cooking skills working under Chef Kevin Rathbun and Chef Buddy Holly at the famous Atlanta Fish Market. He then attended culinary school at the Art Institute of Atlanta.
Following graduation in 2003, Chef Houston opened several restaurants and began catering services in Macon, Georgia. In order to challenge his culinary abilities, Chef Houston decided to focus only on HL Catering as he enjoyed making each of his clients’ events memorable and one of a kind. Chef Houston and his wife, Katie Loper, moved the catering business to Raleigh, as she happens to be Tar Heel born and bred.
