MEET CHIL'LON

I’m Chil’lon Chambliss-Williams.

On TikTok, you came to know me as C’Exquisite.

But behind the name is a story that began long before social media with family, cooking, life experiences, and a love for bringing people together around good food.

This is the story of where I come from, what shaped the way I cook, and how C’Exquisite came to be.

Come on in. Let me tell you my story.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SEASONING

How “Put Cha Foot in Dat” Became a Brand.

Put Cha Foot in Dat began in my own kitchen—with love for my family and a desire to serve them healthier, more flavorful meals.

As a wife and mother, I became increasingly concerned about the amount of sodium, sugar, fillers, and unnecessary ingredients found in many supermarket seasoning blends. I wanted to make better choices for my family without sacrificing the bold, comforting flavors we enjoyed. Instead of relying on the familiar brands lining the grocery-store shelves, I began preparing more of our food from scratch and blending my own herbs and spices.

At first, I simply removed seasonings that contained too much salt or added sugar. Then I started experimenting with different combinations of aromatic herbs and spices to recreate the depth of flavor I felt was missing. As I cooked, I noticed that certain core ingredients appeared again and again in almost every dish I prepared. Those herbs and spices became the foundation of my signature blend.

Creating one complete blend also made cooking easier. Instead of pulling several containers from the cabinet every time I prepared a meal, I could reach for one seasoning that brought together the flavors I used most often.

THE HEART BEHIND C’EXQUISITE

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS

“What did you put in this?”

Before long, people began complimenting not only the way my food tasted, but also the inviting aroma that filled the room while it was cooking. Family members, friends, and guests who sampled my dishes at gatherings and events started asking, “What did you put in this?” Some even asked if I would share my seasoning recipe or make a blend for them to use at home.

My family also felt better about the choices we were making. As we reduced the sodium and added sugars in our meals, we noticed encouraging changes in our blood-pressure and blood-sugar readings compared with times when we relied more heavily on highly processed seasonings. That experience strengthened my belief that food could be deeply flavorful while still being prepared with greater care and intention.

I soon realized that my family was not alone. Other families were also searching for better-quality herbs and spices—seasonings that could deliver bold, authentic flavor without depending on excessive sodium, added sugars, or unnecessary fillers.

What began as a healthier choice for my household grew into a mission: to help other families create flavorful, inviting meals that awaken the senses and bring people together around the table.

And from that mission, Put Cha Foot in Dat was born—a brand rooted in family, wellness, originality, and the belief that healthier cooking should never mean flavorless cooking. Every blend reflects the same care that inspired me in the beginning: authentic ingredients, robust aromas, memorable flavors, and love in every dish.

FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS

The Put Cha Foot in Dat Brand Promise.

At Put Cha Foot in Dat, we promise to use quality ingredients and always keep our customers’ best interests at heart. Every customer will be treated with the same care, honesty, and consideration that I give to my own family.

I would never use, serve, or supply an ingredient in one of my seasoning blends that I would not feel comfortable serving to the people I love. Every blend will be created with intention, integrity, and a commitment to bringing bold, authentic flavor into your home.

From my family’s kitchen to yours, I pray that Exquisite Dishes find their way into your kitchen, fill your home with inviting aromas, and bring unforgettable flavor to everyone gathered around your table.

QUALITY. FAMILY. EXQUISITE FLAVOR.

BEHIND THE FLAVOR

I’ve Picked Up a Few Things Along the Way.

I’ve been cooking through a lot of life—family gatherings, military service, travels, celebrations, everyday dinners, and those meals where you open the cabinet and figure out what you can make with what you’ve got.

Every experience has taught me something.

Some lessons came from family. Some came from the places I’ve traveled and the people I’ve met. And plenty came from simply getting in the kitchen, trying something, tasting it, and saying, “Okay... that needs a little more.”

That’s part of what makes cooking fun.

I bring those experiences with me every time I step into the kitchen—and they continue to shape the flavors, recipes, and seasonings I share with you.

And yes... I still taste as I go.
