Tuesday night was magical! (And made me miss being in restaurants 🥲) I’m so honored to have been a part of this event for the @jacquespepinfoundation and @beardfoundation sharing a kitchen with @lerouxeddy @danielboulud @chefgabrielkreuther @jacquestorres Our host @marvasmalls brought together an incredible group of people around the table that are all excellence personified and it was an honor to cook for them (during Black History Month no less). Sharing space with the chefs from all the teams, working collaboratively and seeing how much we all have in common was a joy. A special THANK YOU to @lana_cooks for coming straight from the airport to be there with me making sure things went smoothly, @jbfizabela for running the evening so well, and the great students from @iceculinary Abe, Nyaira, and Marven who came with open minds and good vibes to assist and soak up the experience. ***For those of you who voted in the outfit poll, I went with Option 3 – the blue work jacket look for prep and set up, then did a costume change for service into Option 1 – the classic, crisp white jacket and apron! It felt right and was perfect for the situation. #chef #cheflife #jamesbeardhouse #blackhistorymonth

Some work trips are filled with nothing but…work. This time I’ve been able to spend a little more of my days outside of the kitchen experiencing Paris. I’m here for all the local vibes, taking the train and walking through neighborhoods exploring shops and restaurants, but I’m not ashamed to admit that I want to see all the the major attractions too. Eiffel Tower – ✅ Notre Dame – finally! ✅ (Of course I’m visiting this storied Catholic Church, have you met me?! Aaaand the last 2 times I was here it was still being restored.) Rodin Museum – ✅ Montmarte – ✅ But I didn’t take pics) I’m also not ashamed to admit I will stop at multiple bakeries each day to compare croissants and/or pain as raisin, all in the name of research of course! #paris #chef #cheflife #havekniveswilltravel #consultant #kitchendesign #specialevents #acesintheirplaces #sundaybest

Back from my trip just in time for an event tonight @beardfoundation I’m trying to decide what to wear, lemme know which look you think I should rock tonight. Oh, did you think I was attending as a guest?! 😂 Nah, I’m cooking, but can still have fun with what I wear! It’s a special dinner where I’ll be cooking along side Daniel Boulud, Eddy Leroux, Gabriel Kreuther and Jacques Torres. Should I go formal or casual? 🤔Help me decide! #chef #cheflife #inthekitchen #chefstyle #dressup #fancy #casual #youdecide @danielboulud @lerouxeddy @chefgabrielkreuther @jacquestorres
