OUR STORY
CINDY HEBERT Affectionately known as The Queen of Gumbo
Cindy Hebert — From Combat Boots to Cooking Pots
Cindy Hebert, a Gulf War veteran and retired government employee, served as a U.S. Army cook during Operation Desert Storm. Originally from Louisiana and now based in Texas, Cindy’s passion for feeding others began as a young child while helping her mother feed the community she grew up in. Also in her military dining facility, where she served thousands of soldiers daily.
In 1992, she founded Cindy’s Creole Kitchen, blending family tradition with her culinary expertise to create food that nourishes both body and soul. In 2025, her mission evolved into a fully recognized nonprofit — CCK Inc. — focused on feeding and uplifting underserved veterans.
