Welcome back. Today the blog and LaSuria Kandi Allman are cooking with Chef Day Bailey in The Hot Seat.
MY first legal business was/is "CHEF DAYS DIVINE WINE AND DINE LLC, recently adding "THE DAY EXPERIENCE" and "SACRED ME" to my business portfolio. All are my passions in life. My focus at this point is THE DAY EXPERIENCE.
From the age of 19, I had a passion for the culinary arts, in specific
food and wine pairing. I was trained hands on by two chefs. The first
was my mentor Executive Chef Dan Lee, whom works for the Llitchs.
Taught me gourmet cuisine on many levels! He worked with me for over a
year, shortly after I made a friend named Antonio whom studied abroad
and had a passion for Italian cuisine. Which became my number one
specialty, I also specialize in Mexican, American gourmet cuisine and a
little Chinese.
My first catering gig was a
DETROIT pastors 50th anniversary banquet dinner party for 100 people,
it went well! I provide private CHEF services. My favorite family so far
was a family of 10 in Dearborn Heights. Our contract was 6 months, I
would visit their home once a week . Sunday's
I cooked Dinner from scratch and served it, prepped 6 more meals,
cooked while they slept, labeled everything, wrote simple directions.
The system I developed worked out great for all parties. I still check
in on them from time to time.
I have done
work for the DETROIT Eastern Market. I was booked for the big Apple
Gala Extravaganza. Where I helped feed 800 people, one of those people
was Devon Scillian of channel 4 news. I was able to chat with him
briefly, it was an inspiring memory. I have done cooking demonstrations
at the Eastern Market as well. I have cooked for a few record labels,
Rappers local and international (Trick Trick, Flesh N Bone, Pretty
Ricky, John Drama, Selena Jordan, DJ Butter, Dj Assassin, IV Duncan,
Sevendaze, Jay Success, Mo Thugs Records, Sloan Bone,50 Cal, Fatt
Father, King Gordy, Marvone, Big Herk, Young Herk, Jay O'Neil, Kokane,
and more).
With things going up and down
in my life , the passing of my mother and father made me view life
differently. There was a huge void in my life and no balance. I started
studying hardcore, reading books, lectures, meditation , repeat. I now
study metaphysics, quantum physics, religion, spirituality , culture,
history,etymology, the occult, womb wellness, yoga, the Kemetics, the
CHAKRA system etc. I have been married almost 3 years to the man of my
dreams. We have a REAL HIP HOP LOVE! We have a equal love for HIP hop , consciousness, lyrics, that raw talent. DETROIT can hang with the best
of them.!
My 30th BIRTHDAY party was a
HIP HOP food and wine tasting, which was held at a HIP HOP art gallery.
5 E Gallery, tickets were $25 food, wine and sangria was included. Our
first event was a hit! We had LIVE performances and some super DOPE
acts CLASSIC ARTIST like Loe Louis, Supa EMCEE, Konplict, and some up
and COMERS.We had a nice turn out. That was almost two years ago, people
still talking about it.
Life has
changed dramatically in the last year. I have elevated to a higher
level of being. I worked
at Hard Rock Cafe as a server for the past 4 years as a day job, which distracted me from that full upgrade I was longing for. About two months ago my King and I had a sit down. We decided I would put in my two weeks, we would buckle down on spending and I would be able to work on manifesting our golden future. I RECENTLY launched my SACRED ME purpose driven Epsom bath salts product line.
