1 Chef owner Rodney Harris is keeping it hot with his skills in the kitchen! Located in Spindale NC, he's looking to expand his business so many others can enjoy the great variety of meals. I got to admit I don't like Cole slaw, Rodney hooked me up with a hotdog with chilli and slaw and I instantly fell in love.
Growing up in New Hope Rutherford County, Rodney was into a lot of different things like football and baseball. His father even played in the negro league. Before going into business for himself Rodney was incarcerated for seven years. During incarceration he worked in the kitchen and different jobs just to pass time, realizing he wanted to help his family and focus on a career he really wanted. He loves to cut hair, so he became a barber because that's what he wanted to do since thirteen years old. He ended up moving to Atlanta, Georgia to attend barber school, but didn't finish. Meanwhile Rodney still cut hair, even for guys in that was in the NFL. He eventually became a personal chef for for NFL players then later enrolled into a culinary arts school. Some of his biggest challenges was the willing to be obedient to those over him. Rodney was use to working independently, but he wasn't really use to working under someone. While working Rodney realized that in order to be a great leader, you must become a great follower. All in the end his biggest obstacle was learning how to get a paycheck. The most Rodney loves about what he does is the people. Rodney is a people's person and enjoys the relationship that God gives him, "the food is just a connection ". Rodney traveled many places to cook, they even called him The Walking Chef. Meeting people through different paths in life made him believe that if your heart is not in what your pursuing, don't do it. It will never work out for you. Throughout his life he tries to encourage others they can something out themselves. I had a great time with my talk with 1Chefs owner Rodney Harris. He seems humble and confident in himself and his success for the future. So if your ever around town, stop by and see one of the best chefs around!
