About Clayton
Chef Clayton Cottman is founder of Uncle Charlie’s Gourmet Snacks, which is located at 118 Broadway N, Fargo. Clayton received years of training with top chefs from various locations within the United States. Through his creativity, he found “snack-cess” in the Midwest.
Uncle Charlie’s Gourmet Snacks is named after Clayton’s Great Uncle, Charles A Carter, PhD. Dr. Carter was “one of the infamous buffalo soldiers of World War II.” After Dr. Carter returned from war, he received his undergraduate degree, master’s degree, and doctoral degree. “Dr. Carter was instrumental in spearheading several mental health and developmental disabilities programs within the District of Columbia government and was chosen to head a number of national psychological and mental health government agencies.”
Clayton reflects on Uncle Charlie’s homemade cheesecake, made by his aunt Thelma. He states, “It was always exclusively off limits. Especially to us kids. Which of course, made me obsessed with getting just a small slice to myself.”
