About Our Guest:
Chef Bob Haney is a chef instructor, and menu development consultant, now Founder and Executive Chef, of Heavenly Waffles®.
Haney started cooking with his grandma Glady when he was 4 years old.
Glady taught Chef Bob, or Bobby, as she called him, how to develop flavors, and taught him about flavor profiles. Glady was a meat and potatoes kind of cook, basics, with outstanding flavor, while Bob’s mom, Joanne, who also helped cultivate Chef Bob’s taste buds, was also an amazing cook. Mom Joanne, was more creative, and took more risks in the kitchen, helping Chef Bob think more outside the box.
Chef Bob cooked for friends and family but didn’t start working in restaurants until his early 20’s in Kansas City, then in Chicago.
While modeling all over the world, Chef Bob would always cook for people he met, giving away recipes he had created over the years, but never gave out his pancake recipe he had created, combining 3 ingredients of a recipe Glady made, and 2 ingredients of a recipe Joanne made. One morning, in Glady’s kitchen, making his famous pancakes there wasn’t enough of one of the ingredients, which was sour cream, but there was yogurt in the fridge, Haney though, “oh that will work” and years later Heavenly Waffles® were born.
