We Empower Magazine got an exclusive interview with Chef Glaze.

Tammy Reese: What is your favorite dish to cook and why?

Chef Glaze: Glaze Kitchen was created base on a salmon dish. Salmon is my go-to and specialty, from sautéing, grilling it to deep-frying it. It’s unbelievable how many things you can do with this one particular protein.

Tammy Reese: Is there anything you haven’t quite mastered cooking yet?

Chef Glaze: I haven’t mastered sushi as of yet and would love to learn some more about the delicacy and preparation of this specific cuisine.

Tammy Reese: What do you enjoy most about your profession?

Chef Glaze: The best part of my profession is being able to help and bless people in so many ways, from the people that enjoy the flavor of the food, to the staff that’s able to receive a check to provide for their families. As well as the next person walking by the restaurant who’s hungry but can’t afford to pay for their meal.

Tammy Reese: What was it like being honored by the United Nations?

Chef Glaze: Being honored by the United Nations was very overwhelming as it was something far beyond what I could imagine. It was my time to shine not just as a chef but as a Caribbean chef. Cooking for celebrities was fun however, this was the cross over from cooking for celebrities to becoming a celebrity chef and the best part of it all was that I felt so accomplished because it was the closest feeling to home as in my country I’ve ever felt since starting this journey.

Tammy Reese: Any other endeavors you’re currently involved in or working on?

Chef Glaze: I’m currently working on so many projects I’m not even sure how I’m keeping up. My favorite project at the moment is called suite 29 which is a private dining experience only booked twice a month with limited seating and it allows me to really show off my skills in front of an audience. It’s called the Glaze Kitchen Experience 5 course.
