Shaticka Robinson is an award-winning chef, pitmaster, entrepreneur, and proud Nashville native whose work reflects the rich culture and bold flavor of the city that raised her. As the Season 3 Winner of Netflix’s Barbecue Showdown, she gained national recognition for blending Southern tradition with refined technique — creating elevated barbecue that feeds both the body and the soul.

Rooted deeply in Nashville, Shaticka is intentional about ensuring authentic Southern flavor is represented with integrity and sophistication wherever she shows up. She refined her craft in renowned hospitality establishments, including Gaylord Opryland and other high-end hotels, rising through the ranks to become Sous Chef and later Executive Chef at Tennessee State University, where she led teams with purpose while elevating Southern-inspired cuisine on a large scale.

Today, she is the visionary behind Coley’s Jook Junt, her Nashville-area food truck known for soulful comfort food with a bougie twist — from tender smoked oxtails and Elevated AF ribs to her signature Bougie mac and cheese. Beyond the truck, Chef Shaticka operates a thriving catering business, curating elevated Southern experiences for private events, corporate gatherings, festivals, and nightlife venues.

She has partnered with local bars and establishments to incorporate her Southern flair into their culinary programs, strengthening Nashville’s hospitality scene through collaboration and innovation. Her brand creativity has extended beyond Tennessee, including the creation of a signature Beer Frosé in California known as the Bougie Frosé.

Whether through catering, nightlife partnerships, national television, or serving her hometown community, Shaticka Robinson is committed to honoring her roots while elevating the standard. For her, flavor is representation — and every plate is an opportunity to feed the soul, celebrate culture, and showcase Nashville at its finest.
