Nothing makes me question whether I'm adulting correctly more than a 20-something who has fast-tracked his success in less than 5 years. 

*weeps in what have I been doing*

Chef Robinson is a native New Orleanian, who decided early to follow in the footsteps of his mother and grandmother and join the world of culinary arts. After he finished culinary school, he became a private chef for professional athletes and socialites in and around the city. That ultimately snowballed into creating seasoning blends for those clients as well as friends and family who needed low to no sodium options to cook with. Fast forward to present day and he now has a three product seasoning line that is in nearly every Rouses grocery store in New Orleans and the surrounding areas among other select grocers.  Chef Robinson is now working veraciously to expand his brand into cities nationwide.  NOT ONLY THAT, he has his very own restaurant, Mad Chef at 59th in New Orleans East, which has become wildly popular.
