Nate Jamison got his start in the culinary world when he was just 17 years old.
He started working at the age of 15, to help his family cover bills, and in 2017, Jamison, one of eight siblings, got a job flipping a Metro PCS sign. One day, while flipping the sign on North George Street, he met Handsome Cab co-owner Robert Godfrey, who was outside painting the windows, beside a sign that said that they were hiring.
Committed to securing a second job, Jamison, then in culinary school, filled out an application to be a dishwasher. But his boss had other plans – he was hired as a line cook.
There, Jamison spent several years developing a wealth of knowledge and skills from how to run a kitchen to how to prepare different foods he might not normally work with.
“I was eager to do a good job and do it to my fullest potential,” Jamison said.
He has since moved on to other roles in York County, including helping his mother, Kayla Tawney, operate her Penn Market Stand: V & K’s Mercantile.
