Marie McClellan is owner and Chef to Jacksonville’s new restaurant The Impeccable Plate. Jacksonville movers are raving about this tasty and healthy alternative to fast food that offers fresh ingredients and colorful meals.
Originally from Haiti, McClellan had always eaten rice and beans and did not know about certain food groups. She explained that when she moved to the United States she had her fill of junk food. “I never had a donut before I moved here,” she said. McClellan said that she was gaining five pounds a year when she was first in the U.S. and she didn’t think it was a big deal until a friend asked “How will you like yourself in 10 years if you keep gaining five pounds a year?”
This prompted McClellan to make a life change. She began cooking her own healthy foods and food for others. She would serve on the River of Life meals ministry and hospitality team, and cook for the churches and any special guests. This was a huge opportunity for her to showcase her recipes, and when someone asked her, “why don’t you open up a restaurant”, a light switch clicked – and that light switch is one that Jacksonville moving companies are thrilled about.

McClellan added more and more meals to her recipe list and eventually opened The Impeccable Plate. She tries to incorporate fresh ingredients and herbs, with great spices that will have veggie-haters change their minds about healthy eating.

Like McClellan says, “Life changes begin after you step out of your comfort zone.”
