[Giveaway Closed]🌟 #MeetTheOwner (& a GIVEAWAY)! 🌟⁠
⁠
Chef Kimberley Ashlee of thechristianjames.pgh!⁠
⁠
✨ How did you get started in your career?⁠
"I was at a point in my life where I wasn't feeling fulfilled. I found my way back to what I enjoyed most as a child. Cooking has always come naturally to me. I'm not classically trained, so I can argue that it's been a hard road where I've balanced passion, common sense, and a business mind. Mistakes can be costly, and ones that I've made, I've learned the hard way. Kimberley Ashlee Catering was started 13 years ago in Southern Virginia and it really took off in Pittsburgh. "⁠
⁠
✨ What is the inspiration behind Christian James?⁠
"This was a concept that my partner and I talked about even before Kimberley Ashlee Catering. We wanted to provide a personified experience, through an individual that had facets of their personality which others could relate to. Guests can live vicariously through Christian James on his travels, then they are able to have something tangible through our menu and the experience we provide at the restaurant."⁠
⁠
✨ What gets you excited to go to work every day?⁠
"The community that we've built around Christian James. I think about our team members, their individual talents, and what they bring to the table and I'm grateful. Then I think about the guests who I've personally connected with and it reminds me that I'm where I should be and that I need to hold myself accountable to push harder."⁠
