From Bounty Hunter to Master Chef: The Culinary Journey of Curtis Duncan
Curtis Duncan's love for cooking began in his childhood, growing up in Waycross, Georgia. Raised by his mother, Nee Nee Duncan, Curtis was surrounded by the rich smells of Southern cooking from an early age. His mom, taught him that food wasn’t just nourishment—it was a way to bring people together, a way to heal, and a way to show love.
Curtis learned the basics by watching Nee Nee prepare family meals from scratch. Sunday dinners were a tradition in the Duncan household, with fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, and sweet potato pie always on the menu. As Curtis got older, his fascination with cooking grew. He started helping in the kitchen, chopping vegetables, stirring sauces, and learning family recipes passed down through generations. His grandmother's secret barbecue sauce, a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy, was one of the first recipes he mastered.
It wasn’t until Curtis became a bounty hunter that he perfected his skills. Traveling the country while chasing down dangerous fugitives, Curtis developed a palate for diverse dishes, from Miami’s fresh seafood to New Orleans’ spicy Creole meals. Whenever Curtis had downtime, he'd be found in the kitchen experimenting with new flavors, trying to recreate the food he tasted during his travels but with his own Southern twist.
Eventually, Curtis became known not just as America's baddest bounty hunter but as a force in the kitchen. His signature dish—spicy blackened catfish with a honey-butter cornbread side—earned him a reputation among his family and friends. Curtis's neighborhood dinners became the talk of the town, showcasing his impressive cooking skills and earning him admiration for his mouthwatering dishes.
For Curtis, cooking became more than a hobby; it was his therapy after long days of chasing fugitives. It connected him to his roots and provided a sense of calm in a life otherwise filled with chaos. Every meal he cooks is a nod to his family and the lessons he learned from his grandmother and mother about the power of food, family, and love.
