Episode Description

Born in Jamaica, now living in Buffalo, NY, Chef Darian Bryan has elevated Jamaican cuisine to the fine dining level at his restaurant, and through his work as a private chef. He has also amassed a roster of Buffalo Bills NFL players including MVP Qquarterback Josh Allen as clients, as an in-home private chef, preparing ready-to-heat meals, and as a special event caterer. He is engaging, entertaining, and an inspiration—from a childhood of poverty without electricity or running water to a first job in America at Denny’s, to shining in culinary school, to successful chef and restaurateur.
