In this flavorful episode of The Diary of a Side Hustler, we step into the high-heat world of private catering with Executive Chef, Montez Hymon (affectionately known as Chef Tez). From early kitchen inspiration to serving exclusive dinners for VIP clients, Chef Tez takes us through the journey of initially selling plates to plating perfection in the homes of high profile clientele.

Montez's journey to success has been fueled by hustle and determination—promoting his business through networking, handing out business cards, and advocating for himself while juggling other jobs. With six years of experience, Chef Tez has built a highly profitable private catering company that offers unforgettable dining experiences in homes and even on private jets.

Whether you’re a foodie, aspiring entrepreneur, or side hustler hungry for inspiration, this episode is a feast for the ears.
