Alison Lueker - Executive Chef
Alison Lueker founded Sun In My Belly in 1996 and is the Executive Chef and co-mastermind behind Sun in my Belly Cafes and Catering. Alison wanted to make her mark by creating an exciting, visually driven, haute cuisine catering company for Atlanta. She was one of the first chefs in town to champion seasonally fresh fare that features an artful flair distinguished by intricate, nature-driven themes that are woven into all of her signature dishes.
A testament to her superior craft was when she was quickly snatched up by the High Museum after the high-profile opening exhibits of Van Gogh’s “Starry Nights” and Michelangelo’s “Drawings of the Buonaroti”. Alison was then appointed exclusive caterer for the museum’s Director. Request for her service has taken Alison and her crew all over the continent as well as to Europe for weddings, business presentations and special family occasions.
Alison began her love affair with fine food while studying art in Turin, Italy. After making her way back to the states she graduated from Santa Fe Culinary and then moved to Atlanta. She started off her career at the Buckhead Diner as their pastry chef. She was approached by Horseradish Grill and was asked to come on board and help them open their new restaurant. Soon after Alison decided to go off on her own to create the kind of food that fulfilled her passion for gorgeous, delectable and uniquely decadent cuisine.
