His loving daughter's smile can now be shared through her own precious daughter's sunshine. At this writing, Chris' days of single fatherhood are coming to close as he is engaged and seeing his son through his senior year of high school. Never too far from the traveling bug he enjoyed as a youngster and as a stand up comic, Chris in the years to come, including present day, hits the road to catch some serenity. Putting his rubber chicken back in the closet, Chris rejoined his fellow employees and worked the family biz until his father's retirement in 2001. Realizing the first time his new born daughter smiled that smile at Daddy, Chris knew that father duties came first. As often is the case with life on the road, reality and the mortgage came calling. The acceptance from the crowds and encouragement from comic masters of the stage, Todd Yohn and Darryl Rhoades to name but a couple, would see Chris on a successful 12 year run.
After decades of dedication to the service industry, he took the plunge and hit the highway. The applause from at least one of his ten curiously dark takes on life was all it took to get the ham cooking inside Chris. An avid fan of music & film with close attention on those performing comedy, the young father tried his chops at an open mic one evening in the early 1990's. As the restaurant's popularity grew, so did Chris' own family and outside interests. Through the years, Chris would learn the brand and grow with the business.
Spending the first nine years of his life in the bustling 'Rocket City' of Huntsville ,Alabama, Chris and his brothers and sisters were raised in the Catholic community. His father's new found career in the restaurant industry brought the family to B'ham in 1968 where the first of the family's franchised El Palacio Mexican - American restaurants took flight.
Chris Peterson was born in 1960 in Talladega,Alabama.
