Chimdi Chekwa, a former NFL cornerback, has traded his cleats for a spatula, opening a restaurant called 'A Piece of Cake' dedicated to his favorite dessert: peach cobbler. Chekwa's inspiration stems from his biological father, whose love for peach cobbler created lasting memories of home and family.
'Peach cobbler, for me, represents home,' Chekwa explained. 'It's something that always brings me back to my roots and reminds me of the importance of family.'
'A Piece of Cake' offers a variety of peach cobbler flavors, each carefully crafted to evoke different memories and emotions. From classic recipes to innovative twists, Chekwa aims to cater to every palate. He hopes his restaurant will become more than just a place to grab a dessert; he envisions it as a community hub where people can connect, share stories, and create their own memories around the comforting taste of peach cobbler. The restaurant is now open and serving the local community.
