My name is Jourdan Cha’Taun I am a private chef to the stars and have been in this business for over 20 years. I have worked with Sean Combs, Tyler Perry, Floyd Mayweather, & Dwight Howard, just to name a few. I moved to NYC in 2007 from Seattle, WA with a dream to become a private chef to the stars. I had no prior experience working with high profile clients. And I could only get cooking jobs in restaurants making $7.49. I went through bouts of depression & wanted to leave and call it quits. Then I met a famous author & publicist Terrie M. Williams. She connected me to Sean Combs camp. And the rest was history but not without challenges. I have learned through trial and error how to negotiate prices, and the importance of work/life balance. Within the past 2 decades I have built relationships to last me a lifetime and Now that I have the full blueprint I want to help you reach your own goals in the food industry.
