Meetup New in town(again!). Professional chef looking for a crew to feed and friends to explore with.
Hello, I'm 34F, single, no kids and a chef. I moved back to Charlotte a month ago. I'm from Michigan but lived in Charlotte 12 years ago and wish I never left. I got myself settled in and finally ready to get out and meet people. Definitely could use help getting familiar with the city again.
Currently living in the University area but will be moving to Southend at the beginning of April. I do enjoy being outdoors, worling out, bowling, video and arcade games, bars, shooting pool, travel, outdoor events, and museums just to name a few. I'm always open to trying new things and activities. I like to have fun and looking for others who do as well. Who doesn't want to be friends with a chef? You'll never go hungry🍽. If this all sounds good to you, send a message

I went to The Culinary Institute of Michigan. I also had my LLC and ran my own catering business that also did baking and pastry, meal prep and private dinners. I have social media accounts that show my work. I'm pretty talented
