Chef Johnny Cirelle
Chef Johnny Cirelle
Johnny Cirelle’s culinary career has been built upon both tradition and improvisation. Growing up in an Italian/Mexican American household, food was an essential part of building community and keeping the family together. What began as a deep love for cooking the cuisines of his ancestors has developed into the embracing of techniques and ingredients from a range of other cultures, including Japanese, South East Asian, and Mediterranean. He delights in developing concepts from scratch with the greater goal of harmony, both of ingredients and people. During his tenure, he has worked for some of the most renowned restaurants in Los Angeles, including Spago, Providence, Bestia, and Bavel. He has also done private cooking for high level CEOs, celebrity clients, and families. Chef Johnny stresses the importance of ethical sourcing, fresh ingredients and using as much of the products as possible with as little waste as possible. Honoring the source of where our food comes from allows both cook and diner to have a greater appreciation for what they consume. He believes this method results in a more satisfying experience, both nutritionally and emotionally. Chef Johnny aims to help others create wonderful memories, with food as the centerpiece or the backdrop of those shared moments in time.

Chef Jerk Muva
Hailing from the Bronx, New York, Ashley Morgan, better known as Jerk Muva, was born to a Jamaican mother and African-American father. Ashley was introduced to two distinct cultures from an early age, and there she developed an appreciation for the nuances that made each culture unique and special in its own way. Her curious nature and love of experimentation led her to the kitchen. She enjoyed watching her mother pour her heart into a delicious meal for the family, while also receiving a front-row seat to the more professional side of cooking through her father’s catering business. Ashley soon developed a love for cooking herself and learned very early on, the power that food has to bring people together and create a shared experience of joy.
In 2015 Ashley’s career as a travel nurse took her across the country to sunny California. Her life in California started off in Santa Barbara and eventually she settled in Los Angeles. On a personal journey and far from home, Ashley was inspired to pursue her creative passion and find ways to bring people together through great food with a touch of love. This desire was the catalyst for the creation of Jerk Muva’s Creations. A company born to feed the mind, body and soul. The Jerk is representative of Ashley’s Jamaican upbringing and love for that culture, while Muva represents her desire to empower women. Being a product of two cultural backgrounds, naturally, Ashley adopted a fusion style that has led her to develop delicious and unique staple dishes such as her“Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls” and “Oxtail Grilled-Cheese Sandwich”.
To this day, she continues to push the envelope with her dishes while maintaining the fundamental culinary principles she learned in her formal training as a Chef, from the New School of Cooking school. So whether it’s at one of her pop-up events on Sundays or if you book her for catering or private chef engagement, you will feel the essence of Jerk Muva in everything this fearless Chef has to offer the world.

Chef Ayo Cherry
Chef Ayo Cherry
I grew up working in my auntie's restaurant "South Side Diner," in Tallahassee, Florida. I still remember what it was like going there everyday, how she knew everyone's orders as soon as they walked in. She knew their names, their kids, hell she knew if they weren't supposed to eating the fried foods anymore. That's how I learned southern hospitality.
Fast forward about 15 years and thanks to a referral from a chef and a great steak I became the private chef for Lil Wayne, officially landing my first celebrity client. From there I have cooked for people I could only imagine. Travis Barker, Da Baby, and a few others. In addition to my clients I create recipes and videos on Buzzfeed and I won Supermarket Stakeout on Food Network!
