On Thursday July 16th #FoodTVChat welcomed Chef Jernard Wells, winner of the Food Network Cutthroat Kitchen, and aka Tha Love Chef as our Guest Chef. Chef Jernard definitely shared the love and we had a blast of a #FoodTVChat!
The first thing everyone wanted to know from Chef Jernard of course was how he first got the name The Chef of Love. The answer was that it all started when he started his very first food enterprise at 16 years old, out of his mother’s kitchen. He said every order was delivered with love. But as Sharon Damante, All Star Academy Alum noted, Chef Jernard’s sweet smile has love written all over it!
@DivaFoodies @Chefjernard Just look at that sweet smile… got LUV all over it ;)- #FoodTvChat
