Like many women, when Tina Walker Burgamy was a little girl, she watched her grandmother cook.

"My grandmother was one of those country cooks," Burgamy said as she was being photographed at the Columbus Botanical Garden. "She was an old country cook. She made great food."

Burgamy's favorite grandma dish was fried chicken.

"I've never mastered that fried chicken," she said sadly.

But Burgamy, 54, has mastered a lot more than fried chicken.

While she's never been to culinary school, she often conducts cooking demonstrations.

A single mother of four boys, she's taught all four to cook.

One of her sons, Brice, 20, may be able to cook, but said one of his favorite dishes that she makes is water chestnuts wrapped with bacon. There's a chicken dish he loves, too, but it's not fried.

Burgamy has been divorced for 16 years and turned to cooking to make money to rear her sons. Brandon, 26, owns a local security company called Alert One. Benjamin, 29, just moved back to Columbus and is working with Brandon. Seth, 30, works at RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, and hopes to get back into touring with shows like he did with the Springer Opera House's Springer Theatricals. Brice is a Columbus State University junior majoring in computer science.

For 18 years, she operated her own restaurant, Southern Style, while her company, Southern Style Catering, has been going strong for 25 years.

As with anyone who owns a catering company, business can be brisk or slow, depending on the month.

"This week, we had 12 events. Last week, we only had a couple. The week before, we had 13."

She said much of her business is doing corporate breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The rest are weddings, private parties and receptions.

In her 25 years, she has never advertised, but still keeps busy. A friend once told her that if she ever changes the name of her business, she should call it, "Call Tina."
