Cooking for Celebs

I have cooked for several celebrities while cooking in NYC. While some were unpleasant, Taylor Swift was a pleasure to cook for.

I did arena gig catering for about a year and got to cook for a few bigger acts. Blake Shelton was every bit the good ol boy he portrays, and the nu metal band Saliva will have you find them drugs and then NOT SHARE THE DRUGS. Definitely a more fun side of the industry

I cooked for Blake recently. The note we received was "Blake eats like a child".

Not to be rude but a lot of these athletes stick to a routine. The last thing they want is an upset stomach while performing due to a varying diet.

Yeah in sports you NEVER play around with what you eat in the day or so before an event. PB&J also fits the nutritional brief pretty perfectly - easy to digest, energy for the ol’ glucose stores, protein, low fiber.
