Chef Bob VanAtta has always been about more than just food; his passion is to bring people together over meals that are crafted with care and creativity. Formerly the owner of Table 11 in downtown Concord, Chef Bob has ventured into a new chapter with Cabarrus Cooking Company—a brand that embraces family meals, catering, cooking classes, and more.
Table 11 left a lasting impression on fans of Chef Bob’s bowls, burgers, and inventive dishes. Through popular cooking classes, kids’ camps, private dinners, and catering, he developed a local following that laid the groundwork for Cabarrus Cooking Company. The transition to this new venture allowed Chef Bob to focus on what he loves most: preparing meals that are both satisfying and memorable, whether for a family dinner or a special event.

Chef Bob’s cooking camps for kids are another exciting offering under Cabarrus Cooking Company. Split into two age groups, 9-12 and 13-18, the camps teach cooking skills, kitchen safety, and teamwork. Older teens also get a glimpse into restaurant operations, learning both front-of-house and back-of-house responsibilities. Each camp concludes with a celebratory meal where campers cook, present, and serve their creations.
These camps are more than just about cooking; they’re designed to build confidence, foster teamwork, and make food fun. Chef Bob’s passion for food started at a young age, growing up in a family where home-cooked meals were a central part of life.
Cabarrus Cooking Company has been popping up at local events and festivals, including the Art Walk on Union and the Huntersville Holiday Market, where Chef Bob served his signature burgers, bowls, and more. These events give locals a chance to enjoy his creations in a fun, community-focused atmosphere. Looking ahead, Chef Bob is excited to continue participating in more local events, offering his delicious dishes and connecting with the community.
As Cabarrus Cooking Company continues to grow, Chef Bob is excited to bring his creative meals to homes, schools, and events across Cabarrus County. With a strong foundation in nutrition and quality—thanks to his background as a Certified Dietary Manager—Chef Bob ensures that his meals not only taste great but are also nourishing.
