The comeback story is going to be legendary. A classically trained chef launched a food truck that thrived for over a decade across the DMV. Then COVID hit and wiped out 99.5% of businesses, forcing a major reset. Over the last six years, I’ve sharpened my craft in corporate kitchens, serving as Executive Chef at Fleming’s Steakhouse, Executive Banquet Chef at the Grand Hyatt DC, and currently Executive Banquet Chef at Trump National Golf Club. But nothing compares to being your own boss — the freedom, the control, and the earning potential are on another level. And as we all know, time is the one thing you can never get back.
