WHO IS CHEF CRAIG?

Hello, I'm Chef Craig! My passion for cooking for myself, family, and friends inspired me to attend culinary school and become a trained Chef. Creativity has always been a part of my life, and it reflects in the dishes I create. I aim to deliver flavorful, healthy meals that are rich in soul and history. My love for cooking, writing, and music helps me develop unique techniques and styles that define my culinary approach.

I am a passionate Poet who draws from my heart and experiences, a DJ who shares music that resonates with my soul, and a Chef who channels that same love and passion into my culinary creations. This is the beautiful fusion of food, soul, and music.

I want to how I found the time to explore and immerse myself in various creative pursuits, turning them into my passions. As I faced the challenges of drug and alcohol addiction, healthy distractions were encouraged. After numerous attempts and setbacks, I had a Spiritual Awakening in Los Angeles, in 2017 and have had a sound mind ever since. During this journey, I discovered that engaging in hobbies was essential for keeping my mind occupied. My passion for music inspired me to become a DJ, and playing, listening to, and to music helped me fend off my struggles. I choose to play Disco and House music because their uplifting lyrics resonate positively, with the goal of making the audience feel the music and inspiring them to move. Movement will prove to be a catalyst towards setting foundation for the New Earth.

I discovered that writing is incredibly therapeutic. It allows me to organize my thoughts, confront my deepest fears with bravery, and share my journey of repeated failures leading to triumph in maintaining sobriety. My goal is to inspire the collective consciousness to rise above all that weighs us down, whether addiction or any other character defect preventing us from thriving on New Earth.

Culinary Arts

I returned to school at 43 while on my journey to long sobriety, which required to embrace important principles that also apply to daily life. I made a point to arrive on time and be prepared for class every day, dedicating my own time practice as well. Before long, this skill evolved into a passion leading me to seek positions in the top restaurants with the finest chefs in Chicago. I secured roles in “Michel Star” kitchens alongside “Michelin Star” chefs, where I gained insights beyond creating visually appealing and delicious dishes. I developed essential people skills, learned valuable business strategies for successful commercial kitchens, and discovered the importance of quality hospitality. All of my experiences have prepared me for right now as we ascend towards

New Earth. I hold myself to the same high standards that these chefs expected from their, which has shaped the foundation of my entire career: “Do it nice or do it twice".

as PITCH BLACK

I love poetry, and I love writing. Pitch Black is my pseudonym, and I enjoy sharing my stories. Most of what I write are about my journey to sobriety. I hope to become the voice of hope and encouragement. I vowed to inspire people in this struggle that every little thing is going to be alright. It takes patience and heartbreaks, but it will all be worth it.
