<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cMy granny was my dad\u2019s mother and was the one that, over the years, taught me how to cook,\u201d Beasley recalled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This connection to her grandmother\u2019s cooking is more than nostalgia; it\u2019s a standard of quality and warmth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She shares a pivotal moment, remembering fondly the genesis of the name: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember one year at Thanksgiving, my uncle Joe said, \u2018Your food tastes just like Granny\u2019s.\u2019 And that was about the same time my catering business was really at its busiest point,and I thought, \u2018Well, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll call it.\u2019 \u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was the moment Just Like Granny\u2019s got its precious and fitting name. As we all can attest, there is nothing quite like the nostalgia and taste of your grandmother\u2019s home-cooked meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This family-oriented spirit extends beyond Just Like Granny\u2019s. Beasley\u2019s daughters, Jenny Bryson and Amy Watson, are successful business owners in Tullahoma. Bryson, a beauty stylist, runs The Glam Room. Watson, a nationally recognized hearing instrument specialist, owns Watson Hearing Services, operating an office in Tullahoma and a satellite office in Winchester. The entrepreneurial drive in this family is clear, as Beasley has been both a mentor and an inspiration to her daughters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey have also been an inspiration to me,\u201d Beasley says with pride. \u201cIt\u2019s been inspiring to other people, but it\u2019s such a blessing to me as a mother to see them be able to do that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to her culinary endeavors, Beasley is a notable figure in her community, serving on the board of the Tullahoma Sports Council and organizing its Hall of Fame banquet. Her deep community roots, commitment to family and friends, and strong work ethic, inherited from her father and grandmother, make her beloved in Tullahoma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beasley\u2019s unique approach to catering \u2014 not working from a set menu but crafting personalized culinary experiences based on clients\u2019 visions \u2014 sets Just Like Granny\u2019s apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI like to think that my food is good. I learned to cook from a true old Southern cook and a lot of people will call and ask if I can send a copy of the menu. And I say, you know, \u2018I don\u2019t work from a menu.\u2019 I don\u2019t want someone to tell me what I can eat. So I\u2019m not gonna tell someone else what they can eat.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beasley sits down with customers individually to hear their vision and make a unique catering menu from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ve done everything from soup bars, taco bars, Italian feasts, and all kinds of things \u2014 just about anything you can imagine we\u2019ve done,\u201d she explains proudly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beasley believes in making each event unique, turning each gathering into a memorable experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just Like Granny\u2019s is more than a catering business; it\u2019s a reflection of Lisa Beasley\u2019s heart and soul. Her dedication to her family, business, and community paints a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of good food and strong family ties. Beasley and Just Like Granny\u2019s are symbols of the warmth and neighborliness that make Tullahoma a special place to call home.
