Martin Richardson
You could say food is in his blood. Martin has spent his entire life in the restaurant business, having grown up around his grandfather’s famous seafood restaurants. It was there he found his passion for cooking and the power of food in bringing people together. He has worked in every aspect of the industry from busboy to general manager and is currently in culinary school. Being the only male in the bunch, Martin will provide a unique perspective to Domestic Ease, mixing humor with delicious fare. As a single dad, Martin’s goal is to help parents balance simplicity in the kitchen, incorporate kids in cooking, and fight the battle against unhealthy eating habits and childhood obesity. Martin lives in Burleson, Texas with his daughter Victoria and two dogs Rufus and Buford.
