Private Chef Jerrell East Saint Louis, IL, United States

Creating Mad Flavors

My grandmother on my father's side was an outstanding southern cook. She is from Dillon, South Carolina. My great grandmother on my mother's side was a outstanding cook as well. Her focus was Midwestern with a southern kick. Even though we lived in the Midwest, her elderly family is from Alabama. I've learned from them and incorporated their styles with mine. I've always loved a variety of food, which makes me versatile.

I've been cooking since I was a child. On holidays and special occasions my family gets together and we all bring a dish. After cooking for my family and friends and being complimented. I decided to take my journey further. I attended Lecole' Culinaire for a short period. Most of my jobs have been in the culinary industry. I'm currently a chef at Busch Stadium and St Anthony's Hospital.
