Background
In 1987, Steven Satterfield moved from Savannah, Georgia, to Atlanta to study architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Disillusioned with computer-aided design after graduating, he took a career turn and began to play in various up-and-coming indie rock bands including founding the group, Seely. As a way of supplementing his income, he cooked in kitchens around the city of Atlanta. It wasn’t long before Satterfield left both architecture and his successful musical career behind to pursue this new passion in food. Satterfield worked his way into beloved Atlanta restaurants, Floataway Café under chef Anne Quatrano, and Watershed under chef Scott Peacock, where he established a profound affinity for cooking seasonal vegetables. From there, Satterfield departed Watershed to open Miller Union in 2009 with current business partner, Neal McCarthy.
