MEET THE CHEF

ISAAC FRIEDMAN
From as young as I can remember, I was always drawn to the kitchen. Born and raised in Brooklyn in a traditional Jewish family, a love for food was part of life. What started as an escape from other chores quickly turned into a passion for cooking. From being transfixed by Chef Martin Yan on TV as a toddler, to reading every cooking publication I could get my hands on as a teenager, I set about to learn as much as I could. By the time I was in middle school, I was often cooking dinner for my family, and slowly took over for the family holidays.
As I graduated from college I looked for direction in life, and along the way started hosting dinner parties for friends alongside my brother. Casual dinner parties soon became a full fledged supper club with elaborate progressive menus and so much demand that I needed to expand to do multiple seatings. All of a sudden people were asking to hire me to cook for parties and events, one thing led to another and I found myself working regularly as a private chef. In 2015, I was recruited by a then small startup called Cookunity, specializing in small batch meal prep. I learned from so many incredible chefs there, and over the next decade had my food featured alongside titans of the culinary industry such as Jose Garces, Marc Forgione, Einat Admony, Pat LaFrieda and many more. I personally handcrafted well over 100,000 meals there, and in that time honed my craft molding me into the professional I am today. I strive to fulfill the differing needs of every client while providing quality service and wholesome, nourishing, and delicious meals.
