Casey Thompson
Chief Executive Officer
Casey brings decades of experience leading professional kitchens, opening and operating restaurants, developing culinary concepts and working across television, events and hospitality.
Pretty Southern creates a clear business home for that work and a structure for long-term partnerships with the right owners, operators and brands.
Meet Casey →04 / How We Work
Good partnerships should work on paper, in the kitchen and in the dining room.
Pretty Southern is built around selective, hands-on engagements. The goal is not to attach Casey's name to as many projects as possible. It is to work with partners where her culinary point of view, operating experience and public platform can materially strengthen the business.
