Bio for Isacc and Lorraine Brown:

Ike & Lorraine Brown Long before Isaac and Lorraine, affectionately known as Ma & Pa Kettle, opened Brown's Kitchen they had a passion for cooking. Ike was a cook in the United States Army and Lorraine was a cook at Riverside Nursing Home in McKeesport, PA. Brown’s kitchen was formed in 2004 when they started cooking at the original Bubba’s Bar & Grille, Inc. in McKeesport, PA and continued at Bubba’s II when Bubba’s moved to a new location in McKeesport in 2006.Their catering business began in 2008 which flourished into a thriving catering business in the Mon Valley. Ike and Lorraine retired from Ma & Pa Kettle’s (Brown’s Kitchen) at Bubba’s II Bar & Grille in 2015, which saddened their many faithful customers. However, they continued their catering business with the Political Action Committee, picnics, weddings, family reunions, graduations, birthday parties, funerals and more serving the Mon Valley and beyond.Although they are semi-retired, they still cook for the Political Action Committee and the McKeesport Elks #218. They still enjoy cooking for family functions and various events and are still receiving calls for catering.
