Meet the Chef
Meet Chef Mayashi, a culinary talent from Talladega,
Alabama. Growing up in a family that cherished home-
cooked meals, I spent countless hours in the kitchen,
learning from my mother and grandmothers as they
prepared Southern classics. This early passion led me
to pursue a degree in Baking and Pastry from the
Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.
Now, as the owner of Gourmet Excellence with Chef
Mayashi, I’ve created a space where flavors and
creativity come together. Each dish I prepare reflects
my commitment to quality and my love for cooking,
inspired by the rich traditions of my upbringing.
I see cooking as a way to tell stories—each plate is a
narrative woven with history and innovation. By using
only the finest ingredients and focusing on detail, I aim
to elevate dining to an unforgettable experience. Join
me on this culinary journey at Gourmet Excellence,
where every meal is crafted with care and passion.
Chef Mayashi
