EP 002 feat. Chef Zack Mills

[Co-owner & Corporate Chef Chef Shucker Farmer Inc., True Chesapeake]

Baltimore, MD

Zack Mills is one of the most genuinely kind and talented humans, a true professional; he is one of the best Chefs I have ever had the pleasure of working with/for. We discussed the value of mentorship, how he never just “does” anything, and how that experience has changed his approach to business long-term. From his food to his team, to the restaurant he physically works in, he does everything with thought and purpose.
