"I am so blessed to be a part of my father's dream. The Choplin's Restaurant journey is a beautiful story and given the chance to be alongside my best friend and dad through it all is priceless. He has always enjoyed preparing meals for our family, friends and those in need. I believe this is his God-given gift and calling. I still remember when I was 6 years old, he shared his dream with me about owning a restaurant someday. He said I could help him when I was old enough and 16 years later, he opened the doors to Choplin's Restaurant! I am honored, blessed and incredibly proud to be a part of this establishment and the mission my dad built around it." -Elizabeth
"Getting a front row seat of Wes' dreams everyday and seeing Choplin's Restaurant today is humbling and inspiring. The seeds Wes has planted through the years and now sowing, is a true testament to his hard work and dedication, never giving up on his dreams and living out his purpose. I'm honored to do life with someone I admire, respect and love because it makes the journey all the more sweeter to know that Wes and the entity he has built, is doing what it's supposed to be doing. And to have a supporting role for a team who's value system is deeply rooted and driven by doing good deeds gives me a feeling of pride that is incalculable." -Faith
