From Soldier to Chef: The Journey of La’Twan Ferguson, AKA Chef Ferg


La’Twan Ferguson, affectionately known as Chef Ferg or Ferg the Barber, has embarked on a remarkable journey that spans military service, entrepreneurship, and football coaching. Born in Daytona Beach, Florida, and raised in a military family, Ferguson's path was shaped by discipline and dedication from an early age.


After serving nearly 12 years in the army, Ferguson transitioned to civilian life, managing the family nightclub while refining his skills as a barber. When the pandemic hit, he seized the opportunity to pursue his culinary passion, enrolling in culinary arts school and developing his signature creation – Slapped Sauce.


From humble beginnings selling Slapped Wings and Shrimp plates from his home, Ferguson's entrepreneurial spirit led to the establishment of Slapped Kitchen, now a thriving dine-in restaurant renowned for its Smashburgers and flavorful dishes.


Chef Ferg's invites you to experience the flavor-packed journey of Slapped Kitchen, where every bite is a celebration of his dedication to excellence. Visit Slapped Kitchen at 456 S MLK Blvd in Daytona Beach or explore their offerings at www.slappedkitchen.com.


Ferguson's impact on the football community extends beyond the field where he served as a youth football and high football coach. Chef Ferg @coachferg386 is also a well respected voice in the #CanesUnfiltered community on Twitter, and can be found hosting engaging Twitter Space discussions about all things related to Miami Hurricanes football.
