Chef and Mission-Driven Market Manager Erin Luttrell Brings Her Passion for Food and Community to the National Stage
KANSAS CITY, MO, October 28, 2025 (Press Release) Join us at the Watch Party for Season 12 of Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship featuring Erin-Michelle Luttrell, Market Program Manager, on Monday, Nov. 3 from 6–9 PM at our Serve & Lift Center, 8001 Longview Road, KCMO. Enjoy caroling with special guests, holiday treats, a hot cocoa bar, and a very special toast. Bring a canned good donation if you’re naughty or nice, and wear green for nice or red for naughty! Erin-Michelle Luttrell is a chef with the heart of a healer, a culinary entrepreneur turned mission-driven market manager, and a woman who knows that food is never just foodit’s language, dignity, and love. From crafting show-stopping cakes and pastry at Éclairs de la Lune to reimagining what a food pantry can be at the Serve&Lift Market, Erin blends artistry with advocacy. She’s as comfortable in a commercial kitchen as she is designing systems that nourish entire communities, always rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to good, beautiful, soul-feeding food. Whether she’s hosting a market tasting, mentoring a volunteer, or building strategic partnerships, Erin approaches her work with the precision of a chef, the vision of a founder, and the compassion of someone who’s never forgotten why she started.
