Chef Damian Brown didn’t initially plan for a career in cooking. However, at a young age, he learned that cooking is for the soul. He helped to feed his siblings as a child and had to learn quickly the value of home-cooked meals. As a child, Damian would visit his Grandfather’s home on the weekends. While there, his Grandfather helped to instill worth into young Damian. From watching culturally positive television shows such as the History Channel and the Food Network; Damian began to see a passion for cooking beyond his family.
Damian learned early on that he wanted to be a unique chef that stood out from others. He refers to his cooking style as being uncaged and free to create what his heart desires. This notion birthed his company known as Uncaged Chefs. Rebelling against traditional standards, his company employs chefs who are eager to learn his cooking style and philosophy. Chef Damian strives to make amazing food while empowering and inspiring many people along the way.
Living by the mottos of: “Culinary Outlaws”; “Live by One Rule”; and “No Rules Just Good Food” are what set Uncaged Chefs apart from the rest. Executive Chef Damian thrives off of offering never before seen dishes that are a culinary delight for his customers. With summer quickly approaching, Chef Damian gives us the deets on his summer favorites and must-haves.
