With Melanie’s flair for the original, owner BB Webb asserts, ‘I am delighted to have found a chef with such talent and people skills.  Her knowledge is beyond her years and along with her education and prior experience, her appreciation of extraordinary service and creative invention are just what I was looking for to make Carl House the world class venue I envision.  I couldn’t have attracted a better fit for Carl House.’ 

Melanie transforms ordinary regional cuisine with her use of proprietary sauces, fresh herbs and her carefully cultivated sense of creativity and taste.  With regular seasonal changes, Melanie’s recipes and buffet designs are created to both  inspire and delight our guests.  Working one on one with our clientele, she is able to satisfy and delight the most discriminating tastes, constantly exceeding our clients’ expectations.
