FREDRICK JACOBS MADE HIS PASSION HAPPEN To borrow from Irene Cara’s 1980s hit “What a Feeling,” Dr. Fredrick Jacobs is someone who embodies the phrase “take your passion and make it happen.” Fueled by a lifetime of culinary influences ranging from moments as a young boy in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother to traveling the world to learn from the best chefs, Dr. Jacobs (or Dr. J as he is fondly known) founded and spearheaded the nation’s “first soul food restaurant chain”, Celebrity’s Soul Food. The quality casual concept serves up innovative soul food paired with exceptional customer service to make each guest feel like a star. Dr. J’s guiding star is his spiritual beliefs, family, and lifelong commitment to helping others.

They support local charities and organizations, particularly in families, homelessness, and food insecurity.
