Cornell "Corky" Barnett’s 37-year restaurant career began when he served proudly for several years in the US Army as a food service specialist. Safety-sanitation, proper food handling practices and learning many cooking techniques was a huge part of his education while cooking in the military.  

"Corky" is the nickname given to him by his mother, but the reason for Corky’s Crab Cakes comes from the inspiration he learned from her by cooking for family and friends and everyone loved her great cooking.
