We were lucky to catch up with JERWAINE FISHER recently and have shared our conversation below.
JERWAINE, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
Food is a language that five senses of the body can understand better than anybody else. I always believe if you are really good at something, you try to master it and then share it with others. I can cook really good food and i practice very hard to perfect my skill. Now i believe it is time to share the kind food I’m good at with all the people i can connect with.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I’m the chef/owner of desiignbyfood personal chef service based in south Florida. The story didn’t start here, it took me over 20 years to get to the level I’m at. A lot of studies, hard work, sleepless nights, networking and building relationships.
I was born on the beautiful island of Jamaica and grew up there up until the age of 23. As I can remember, cooking started for me as a hobby as my mom wanted me to learn all the basic principles of life as a child. One of the best things my mom could have done for me.
After graduating high school, I decided to attend a local trade school to obtain some certificate in food service. From there I got a job as a cook at sandals all inclusive and continued to work my way through the different rankings. When I moved to the United States I attended the art institute of Fort Lauderdale for an associate degree in culinary art. I worked my way through restaurants, yachts, hospital & catering companies as a means to gain more knowledge.
In 2018 I decided to start my own business while working as the executive chef of Boca regional Hospital. Fast forward 5 years down the road we offer some amazing culinary experiences to our clients. We offer gourmet meal prep, in-home personal chef service and high end catering service. Some of our clients are Miami Alist athletes, celebrities and millionaires. We are a striving brand in the community and offer give back in the form of voluntary service, feed the homeless, thanksgiving meals and toys for kids at Christmas.
In 2023, we launch our own blend of spice – Jerk seasoning and complete seasoning. The spices are available on our home page at www.desiignbyfood.com
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Actually, we are still working on the growing process as we speak. My method was just always sharing my daily story from going shopping, prepping, cooking, plating and serving each client. I stay engaged with all the comments, requests and encourage others to find their purpose.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Keeping up with current trends, consistency, great quality food and experience. Everything factors into one and the end of the day. I eat at the best restaurant and study the experience to help improve the service we offer with the company.
