Autumn relocated to Chicago and joined the The Chopping Block team in summer 2025. Though she spent nine years living and working in Missouri where she went to college, she still claims Memphis, Tennessee as her home, where she was born and raised. Despite having never attended culinary school, she's had a passion for food and cooking ever since she was a child, and has spent most of her adult life working in kitchens. When she's not cooking or finding a new restaurant to fall in love with, she can be found typing away at her desk, engrossed in another passion of hers: writing.
