“From the get-go, my charge has been to create food with a distinct Southern tone and flair. It’s meant to be hearty and good to represent Southerners and our way of life.”
Jim Millican has considered himself a North Carolinian since birth, but his journey towards starting Big Delicious detoured through a career in banking and a temporary relocation to Chicago. An entrepreneur at heart, Millican’s interactions with the hard-working small business owners and entrepreneurs of Chicagoland is what truly inspired him to take the leap and start his own brand. Ultimately, he landed back home in North Carolina—a place where he’s always been comfortable rolling up his sleeves, this time creating a business for himself that celebrates something he cares deeply about.
