How a chef is cooking for Western NC with the help of the Greenville community

Chef Taylor Montgomery has spent the past week cooking in Western NC, often using grills or ovens connected to generators in kitchens without power.

“We were hearing people say, ‘We know the World Central Kitchen is here, but some of us can’t get there,’” he tells us. “We got to thinking after that, we need to be mobile.”

This summer, Montgomery announced he was leaving Urban Wren, where he worked since the Downtown Greenville restaurant opened in 2020. He was shifting his focus to the farm he shares with his wife, Fran. Montgomery Sky Farm — located in Leicester, NC (~1.5 hours from Greenville) — was damaged in Helene.

“We watched our farm flood. We lost all of our produce. This is the reality we think about when we drive home at night,” Fran said. “We can sit at home and wallow, or we can put our traits and our skills into trying to help people.”
