About
Being a leader and giving back to my community is why I started cooking. “Genuine love and passion for food is contagious.” So through Chef Life NW I get to express myself and pass on my love and passion for food. Everything I do is to help me be a better chef. Being a kitchen manager helps me be a better business owner, which helps me be a better teacher and leader. I focus on doing things the right way and building lasting relationships through food!

Chef Tay did an amazing job catering our wedding. He was a savor to us as our previous caterer cancled only a week before our wedding day. Chef tay showed up with a smile on and helped to make our day so special. He is professional, communicative, and over all such a nice guy.
