Willow Fisher grew up surrounded by the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains in Rabun County, Georgia. Her dedication and work ethic came from her mom, who holds a doctorate in Education and teaches STEM to 3rd–6th graders, and from her dad, who is a skilled Computer and Network Technician. Willow began her restaurant career at just 14 years old at Fromage & Other Fine Foods, where her love for good food and great people first took root.
Willow now shares her days with Goose, her energetic 1½-year-old Blue Weimaraner, who keeps her on her toes and ensures she spends plenty of time outdoors exploring scenic trails.
Her sense of adventure has taken her far beyond Georgia—most memorably to Vietnam, where she spent a summer studying abroad. She fell in love with the food (Pho every day, even in 90-degree heat!), the culture, and the incredible experiences—riding a water buffalo, exploring underground war tunnels, and even wearing an 8-foot python around her neck.
A huge Mac Miller fan, Willow’s go-to song is Missed Calls, and she appreciates that his music continues to inspire fans even after his passing. When it comes to TV, Breaking Bad holds the top spot in her heart, which she proudly calls one of the best shows ever made. If she could be any cartoon character, she’d be Jerry from Tom and Jerry—clever, quick, and always up for an adventure.
Willow’s celeb crushes include Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Tom Holland—thanks in part to her Criminal Minds phase. And when she’s not out and about or cooking up something delicious, she secretly (or not so secretly) loves watching marble races and elaborate domino videos online.
