About Me:

Meet Marcus Wheeler

I didn't grow up in a family of great cooks—my mom's specialty was anything that came from a box, and my dad thought grilling meant burning hot dogs until they split. But somewhere along the way, I discovered that cooking could be different. It could be creative, satisfying, and yeah, even fun.

That discovery happened in college when I got tired of ramen and started experimenting. My first attempt at chicken parmesan was a disaster (breading everywhere, smoke alarm screaming), but the second try was better. By the third, I was hooked. Twenty years later, I'm still chasing that feeling of nailing a recipe and watching people enjoy what I made.

These days, I cook for my wife Sarah and our three kids—ages 14, 11, and 8—which means I've become an expert at making food that satisfies picky eaters and adventurous appetites at the same table. It's a skill, trust me.

My Cooking Philosophy

What You'll Find From Me

I focus on American comfort classics—think meatloaf, pot roast, mac and cheese, and all the dishes that remind you of Sunday dinners at grandma's house (even if your grandma couldn't cook either). I also love a good burger, and I've spent way too much time perfecting my smash burger technique.

When I'm not in the kitchen, you'll find me coaching my son's baseball team, attempting home improvement projects, or sneaking bites of cookie dough when nobody's looking.
