12: Justin Simeon

Its been a minute but we're back with a vengence!! Today, I had the pleasure of linking up with a fellow culinarian that I came across and virtually "met" by way of the intranets. Technology is funny these days and sometimes, it brings you great things in small packages. I reached out to get him to tell his AMAZING story that involves working in Bermuda, his journey driving to culinary school that resulted in him hitting a bear and the importance of family, foundation and finding yourself to continue to do what you love and what you're meant for when you don't believe it yourself anymore. This one pulled at me in such a different way. I'm not going to lie....this is a long one, but worth it and he will definitely be back again. Please introduce yourself to him by way of www.simmieskitchen.com as well as IG: @jsimmie. And if you're in the L.A. area, book him and go eat for me!
