This week, Thursday May 14th at 7PM Eastern, #FoodTVChat welcomes Guest Chef Alexis Hernandez, a Cutthroat Kitchen Champ and the Executive Chef and Owner of Union Hill Kitchen near Atlanta. We can’t wait!
Chef Alexis is from Union City, New Jersey and says that The Betty Crocker Cookbook was his first “go to” cookbook for techniques and ingredients. Sounds retro and classic to us!
He graduated with a BA in Theology from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and then began a corporate career. He eventually left his corporate job and moved to his 65 acre family farm where he studied farming without the use of chemical pesticides and learned about agriculture from the local farmers.
