Meet Chef Dana

"I offer flavorful Miami-inspired dishes and creative fusion for all dietary preferences and palates."

“We don’t just serve food.We create memories.”

Chef Dana Parker trained in culinary arts at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and has spent the last 12 years cooking across South Florida: casino kitchens, luxury condos, private homes, and as an NFL player's private chef.

She started Forked in 2012 as a private chef and catering company built on custom menus. Family-style dinners, grazing tables, weddings, office lunches and weekly meal drop-offs, with menus for keto, vegan, gluten-free and paleo guests.

Her customers voted Forked Best of Florida in 2024, then again in 2025. Now Forked Kitchen brings that same cooking to Hollywood, with po'boys, lunch platters and Southern specialties for delivery and pickup.
