Summary

Ep 88. Today I’m sitting down with Brooke Baevsky, aka Chef Bae, an LA-based celebrity private chef to athletes, actors, supermodels, and even royals! She has amassed a massive following of “Food Baes'' on TikTok where she breaks the traditional allergy-friendly food stigma with delicious, health-forward & viral recipes. She also founded a non-profit cooking program for inner-city children & families in both Los Angeles and New York City, teaching people how to create a healthy, balanced diet on a limited budget. Chef Bae’s technical background in Holistic Nutrition and Food Science combined with her hilarious, quick-witted personality make this convo and her approach to food so much fun.

Here’s the juice:

How growing up in a family with tons of food allergies pushed her to get creative in the kitchen at a young age
How living in an area with high food insecurity galvanized her to start hosting and teaching community cooking classes for kids
The modern-day concept of rebranding anything to make it look like a health food
Why she is the antithesis of the “perfect” Instagram chef – making parody content, telling wild stories, and being her authentic self
The craziest meal prep that she ever did, like a Caesar salad served at Coachella covered in edible glitter
The top bizarre foods and supplements that truly have worked for her professional athlete clients’ performance
How to zhuzh up your food and drink with herbs, specifically digestive bitters
What a day in the life really looks like for a celebrity private chef (and what she cooks for dogs!)
How to decide what to charge people for your services, especially in the beginning when you’re honing your skill and may be struggling with your self-worth
The importance of having mentors in your professional space and asking for help
How to find your niche and build your brand in the content creation space
How we’re transitioning out of the era of perfectly photographed and curated food

0:08.1	We usually dive into the science behind a health condition or wellness hacks and nutrition tips and all that good stuff.
0:17.0	But today we just get to talk to a human and learn about the incredible Brooke Bayevsky, also known as Chef Bay.
0:23.9	You may have seen Chef Bay before on TikTok or Instagram with her extravagant recipe videos or her hilarious herity recipes where she goes to boozy grocery stores like Erwan and makes a $200 version of a peanut butter sandwich.
0:39.2	And while she has built an incredible brand for herself, providing that kind of fun food entertainment and getting people excited about food,

1:13.7	finding her niche in the content world of food and wellness, but she's also a private chef for

1:25.4	chef for the ultra wealthy where she prepares food for people
1:28.6	who see money as no object, but she also balances that with her nonprofit where she's teaching

1:44.9	importantly, how to make sure that that produce is well utilized in delicious meals that they will
1:49.4	truly love. This was a really inspiring conversation. It was great to get to know another
1:55.1	entrepreneur in the space who's paved such a unique path for herself. And I think that if you're
