He’d gotten interested in mer
chandising in 1984, selling
bumper stickers for the Los
Angeles Olympics.
When he and Culbreth met,

Bowl and the All-American
Bowl. “I needed some people
and she and some other people
went to Birmingham to do the
All-American Bowl,” Cook said.
They soon made the
changeover from merchandising
to food vending.
“We thought food concessions
were easier,” Cook and Culbreth
said.
The company started doing
small events to establish a track
record and what began as a part
time avocation became a full
time vocation.
“One of our big breaks was
when we got the (Panthers) and

Meet
Lawrence Otis Graham
In his new book PROVERSITY, nation
ally known business author Lawrence
Otis Graham offers a new approach for
transforming diversity, affirmative action,
and multiculturalism in the workplace
from a hindrance into a powerful com
petitive advantage. “Proversity” is
Graham’s new term for progressive di
versity. While diversity focuses on what
makes us different- be it race, age, gen
der, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or reli
gion- Provereity does just the opposite: it looks
for the things we all have in common.
