Thomas DesForges has been at home in the kitchen since he can remember.
“When I was five years old I remember learning how to make a roux with my mom and grandmother at home in North Carolina,” DesForges said. “Everything in our house was really based around the kitchen.”
A passion for cooking has come full circle for DesForges who is now at the helm of the recently opened Tama Cafe in downtown Tama on W 3rd Street.
