Hi,

I’m Courtney.

NEXT GEN CHEF

Streaming on Netflix

Chef Courtney Evans, a Charlotte-based culinary innovator, has joined the cast of Netflix’s highly anticipated series Next Gen Chef. Known for her Arfo-Sourthern flavors, modern storytelling through food, and deep passion for creating memorable dining experiences, Chef Courtney brings both skill and soul to the screen.

Next Gen Chef shines a spotlight on bold, up-and-coming chefs redefining what it means to cook, create, and inspire. With her unique approach to blending tradition and innovation, Courtney invites audiences to explore food as culture, heritage, art.

Leah & Louise is named for two women, making it a fitting fact that it’s a female chef in the role of chef de cuisine there. As a young chef, Courtney Evans leads a James Beard-recognized kitchen with skill, continuing the restaurant’s reputation of serving excellent Southern fare based not in tradition, but personal history and memories.
