Behind the Apron is an exposé compiled by Atlanta Gspots that highlights different men who have a considerable influence on the Atlanta social scene.
It is a rare peek into their personal drive and daily mission from a lighthearted perspective. These honored men come from various backgrounds, nationalities, and industries. The common factor – they all have an appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and the discipline it requires to commit to and accomplish a goal… and of course a love of great food. The global diversity you can explore in the culinary world is also intriguingly represented amongst these men, and they each have a unique journey in the steps they have and are taking as they create their legacy.
Through a series of Q&A, the men will elaborate and reveal tidbits of themselves, as well as share with us what they enjoy cooking. We believe that an individual's culinary palate is a representation of who they truly are. Atlanta Gspots will feature a different man "Behind the Apron" each day in the month of February.
With this project, it is our desire to share stories in a fresh, new and innovative way while showing each man’s personality, not only from their personal style and photo, but also through revealing their favorite dish to prepare and enjoy. Bon Appétit! - Atlanta G Spots

Bio
One word defines him - Artist. Yancy, the Artist, weaves lyrics and melodies to embody a pure, powerful expression of the world through his skillfully crafted lens. Heavily influenced by fashion, design and art, Yancy cleverly infuses all of his artistic pursuits into a musical style that is unparalleled. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Tampa, FL, Yancy studied graphic design at the Savannah College of Art and Design. It was in that hotbed of creativity that Yancy's musical expression took shape. His band YBQ (Yancy and the Breakneck Quartet) became a popular staple on the southern music scene. Combining the lyrical style of hip-hop's birthplace with the laid-back aura of the south, Yancy developed into a performance artist that brings something wholly new to the industry platform. Musically and visually, Yancy inspires fans to consider a progressive take on the traditional iconography of urban music. Coming from the world's fashion capital and a family of designers, the Artist uses style to complement his presentation of a new urban silhouette with the familiar urban pulse. Yancy's music has a nostalgic feel that throws back to the days of 90's New York hip-hop while his appearance is a forward take on European cool. Engrossed in the essence of art and culture, the former front man of YBQ stays relevant on the scene as the personified evolution of hip-hop. Yancy, the Artist, is the reason hip-hop lives.
