When Garvin isn’t teaching the world how to prepare the most scrumptious meals “one bite at a time” he is either spending time with his 8-year old daughter who lives in Atlanta or giving back to the community. Garvin launched the One Bite At A Time Foundation to expose teenagers to a better understanding of culinary arts and hospitality and a seven-day sleepover camp. “My job is to say, Listen, you all can’t be Jay Z and Kanye. You don’t have to be a chef; you can be a recipe developer, a general manager or restaurant owner,” said Garvin in an interview with  the Journal Sentinel Online.  Garvin aims to inspire teenagers to find their passion in culinary arts.
