Patience Harris

During my struggle with depression, I felt lost and unmotivated. Then I discovered my passion for culinary. It gave me a reason to get up each day and something to look forward to. Cooking became my purpose, a way to channel my energy and creativity. It's now the main reason I keep going. This journey ignited a passion for culinary arts that transformed my life. Through my dishes, I aim to bring comfort, joy, and connection to everyone who experiences them.

My all-time favorite dish to make is Parmesan Crusted Chicken. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first dish I perfected and the first plate I sold when I launched my business. Recently, I expanded my menu with Parmesan Crusted Lamb Chops, but the chicken remains a favorite. It's a fan favorite now, too, symbolizing the start of my culinary journey and my passion for cooking. This dish represents my dedication, growth, and success in the culinary world.

With $25,000, I would elevate my private chef and catering business by investing in a food truck. This mobile kitchen would allow me to reach more clients, expand my menu, and showcase my culinary skills on a larger scale. The funds would cover the truck purchase, essential kitchen equipment, and initial operating costs. A food truck not only increases my business visibility & expansion but also allows me to bring my fan-favorite dishes, directly to the community, driving growth & succes
