Imagine growing up in a big Italian family in North New Jersey, where Sunday dinners are sacrosanct and food is a language of love. Chef Jake White from Charleston Chef Services joins us to talk about his culinary beginnings rooted in these cherished traditions. We explore how his journey took him through diverse kitchens across the East Coast, and even a stint in Nashville driven by a passion for music, before finding his way back to his true calling in the culinary arts. Jake reveals the cultural influences that have shaped his culinary perspective and shares a surprising connection between our backgrounds in music.

For aspiring chefs, Jake offers invaluable advice on networking and gaining diverse kitchen experiences, emphasizing the importance of patience and genuine connections. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that blends culinary wisdom with personal anecdotes and professional insights.
