Chef Corbin Evans graduated with honors from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America and has since worked at some of the nation's most well-known restaurants including Bayona, Mr. B's Bistro and Gerard's Downtown in New Orleans; Jack's Firehouse in Philadelphia; An American Place and Tom Cat Bakery in New York City, and the two star Michelin award winning Jacques Cagna in Paris.

Corbin owned and operated LuLu's and LuLu's in the Garden but closed both due to circumstances after Hurricane Katrina. After deciding to return to New Orleans despite losing the restaurants, Corbin played an integral part in fundraising and assisting with the ongoing process of renewing the food culture in Southern Louisiana. He held the position of president on the Crescent City Farmer's Market Board of Directors from 2005 to 2007 and most recently was a Culinary Instructor at The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College where he trained and mentored students in the four on-campus restaurants. He is a member of Slowfood, Chefs Collaborative and Southern Foodways Alliance and is a recent transplant here in Oxford. He is currently working with the City Grocery Restaurant Group.
