The term rock star was coined by Randy Gage hence it’s been used by many other experts referring to a rare group of successful individuals in several different fields.
What is rock star status? It does not necessarily mean playing a guitar or dressing like a rock star. However, what it does entail is living the life of a fabulously successful rock star due to a profitable career. With all the food shows across the airwaves. We now have Chef’s that are considered Rock Stars!
Whether, its Rock, R&B, Country or Pop, celebrities in the music industry have surreptitiously and gradually moved into the hospitality, restaurant and foodie culture. Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga, Jimmy Buffet, Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, Justin Timberlake and Toby Keith to name only a few.
Enter HIP-HOP, the music of a generation that has spawned a new breed of millionaires reaching rock star status. With access to large amounts of disposable income. Combining metro and an urban cosmopolitan lifestyle by creating a new profitable area in the hospitality branding market.
Food & Beverage Magazine would like you to meet CHEF TYE ATKINS, founder of the Hip-Hop Chef brand, known in the industry as the
“The Original Hip-Hop Chef.”
One of the Hippest Celebrity Chef’s to toss his Chef hat into the culinary
arena. Like many of the Chef’s today. Chef Tye was inspired by his grandmother watching her prepare meals in the kitchen while he was doing after school chores. This inspiration was the driving force behind his desire to become a Professional Chef (Chef De Partie).
He states. “The same dish that you usually prepare and eat at home may differ
in taste to eating the same dish at a restaurant, you always find a
difference in both. This is because one dish is cooked by a professional
Chef.” This is how Chef Tye decided to make a difference in his cooking style as well as the quality of his menu.
This is the main reason his celebrity clientele continues to request his services to satisfy their palates and appetites. All of these factors are the main driving force that has allowed the demands of this talented Chef Cuisine in the entertainment industry.
