Culinary Veteran Jimmie Patterson Celebrates 15 Years of Excellence at Cherry Laurel
It was Patterson’s reputation at the Capital City Country Club that eventually brought him to Cherry Laurel. Several residents, who appreciated his work and character, encouraged him to bring his talents to the senior living community. Rickards High School alumnus, Patterson has spent the last decade and a half blending high-end culinary expertise with a deeply personal approach to service.
Patterson’s journey in the kitchen began at home, preparing meals for his family—a passion that evolved into a storied 40-year career. Before joining the Cherry Laurel team, he honed his craft over 15 years at the Capital City Country Club and a decade at the iconic Silver Slipper Restaurant.

Known for his "cuisine-inspired" dishes, Patterson focuses on bold flavors and fresh ingredients that bridge the gap between cultural influences and home-style comfort. By learning individual resident preferences and the personal stories behind their favorite meals, he ensures that the dining room remains the heart of the Cherry Laurel community.
