By any means innovation and being an inventor would be an understatement for this Detroit native and known Chef whose name I can't disclose. He goes by the name Chef Fresh of the Chef Fresh Express, and he doesn't make a mere meal. This highly talented Chef creates mind boggling breakfast cuisines, out of this world lunches and evening dinners fit for deities all out of the comfort of his home kitchen. Before I get into more of his mean cuisines, take a dive into his start off in a restaurant Cutterz in the Eastern Market District. Starting his kitchen life off, he began as a dishwasher and helping just prep in a kitchen with his grandfather as the head Chef and main inspiration. Knowing cooking in his blood, he began to search for his purpose and began listening and feeling his heart. It was a tough start but it began with perseverance and dedication by making a name for himself not only in the food industry in Detroit but the neighborhoods he grew inside. The hustle mentality kicked in by his humble attitude by “Keeping his head up, smiling and relaxing”, his words. After bringing his name into spotlight through the city, he began to cook at more and bugger organized even events. Never having to speak highly on his food, he just let their taste buds sing. He took a chance by stepping out of the comfort of his own kitchen and went to run someone else's kitchen. Taking his own steps through the heart of the city, he began mingling and building relationships. A main impact of his networking came through with his food because of his granddad. He was well connected throughout the midtown’s eastern market food industry. Everything was learned and polished from the pricing and everyday quality freshness that he took pride in because no one wants to eat old food. He lived by his own phrase, “If I wouldn't eat it, why serve it?”, strong words from a chef to live by. By revamping and rebranding their kitchen with his help and bringing more clientele in, the business became to in over their head and lost the star of the kitchen. Through all the new experience and new efforts, his food perspective and food culture changed. He began to travel and explore not with just his body and mind but expanding his taste buds. Doing this, his presentations and food preparation go over the top Still making food for the neighborhood and gave the people what they deserved. Fresh never put his head down even though he stepped out his space, but he put his foot down and set a foundation for himself. This is when the hustle became innovative, and rebranded himself by recreating his own environment without the restaurant. Having the keys and insights of the last few years of managing a kitchen by not just cooking, but doing books, inventory, time-management, advertising, and even having workers with equal opportunity to work with amazing pay. It's extremely difficult to do all of this alone but he makes this look like a cake walk. Even becoming great enough to create his own menu weekly, a feeling that made him feel even more of his own top chef. That pushed his creativity to the top, giving the food industry and the neighborhoods with it deserved, fresh and amazing food for a fresh price. Always answering his people because he cooks and gives back to the community. Chef Fresh Express may only be a Detroit famous eatery but in time it will be world wide.
