Television viewers are experimenting with new tasty Holiday recipes thanks to Keiser University Tallahassee Campus Chef Davy Crockett Murray who joined WCTV anchor Lanetra Bennett to prepare a Holiday Ham and a Pecan Bourbon Pie Inside a Chocolate Cake.

Given his middle name of “Crockett” because his family liked Fess Parker who played Davy Crockett for Walt Disney in the 1950s, Chef Crockett was an active volunteer in the Savannah and nearby Richmond Hill communities. While studying culinary arts, he continually donated his talents to worthy charities and causes and is thankful to include world-renowned American Culinary Federation Chef Jean-Yves Vendeville and Chef Gabe Gardner of Mesa Arizona as lifetime friends and mentors. Before joining Keiser University’s Tallahassee Campus, he worked as a private cattle ranch chef, operated a bakery, and served as a cook and chef for the US government.
