Chitown native and culinary savant, Tina Gray, started off just cooking for friends and family in high school. Little did she know, it was her true passion. A stint in radio broadcasting reinforced food was where she belonged, as she was finding herself constantly bringing in plates for her coworkers. Their daily inquiry of, “what’s on the menu?”, followed by divine spiritual confirmation from a friend led her to the founding of her catering company back in 2013. She then expanded from only selling the plates to people at work, but also around the Chicagoland area. At that time, she discovered food was more than a hustle, but truly a passion. The grit and grind of being from The Chi taught Tina to never except “no” as anything but a pathway to the next opportunity. She brought that mentality across the nation to LA in 2015 where she has now cooked everyone from native Chicago stars like, Derrick Ross and Lil Rel Howery to Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and more! What’s next on the menu for Tina Gray? We may be looking at the Chi’s own Rachel Ray!
