Chef Charles Gabriel, a two-time James Beard Award nominee known as the "fried-chicken king," inspired a culinary journey from a young age. After closing his restaurant due to COVID, he served meals for the homeless, prompting a partnership to save his restaurant. Within thirteen months, the business expanded to four locations and a booming catering service. A crucial lesson learned was the necessity of consistency in food quality, leading to documenting Chef Charles's techniques to replicate his unique dishes accurately and ensure high customer satisfaction every single time.
If you want to scale your restaurant, you've got to get the food right. Every single time. Our restaurant had a huge advantage: Chef Charles. But he doesn't use recipes or measurements.
We spent a summer cooking his dishes together. Whenever he'd grab seasoning, I'd catch every grain in a measuring cup. I wrote down everything and tested each recipe until I could get it right over and over again.
