Chef Edward (Ed) Brumfield continues to explore his creative passion for the culinary arts. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Chef Ed’s culinary fascination began at home as a child with his dad, Ed Sr. His father taught him specialized cooking techniques from his hometown in Louisiana.
Realizing his calling, Chef Ed attended The New York Restaurant School for culinary arts, where he graduated with a Degree in Culinary Arts and Hotel Management. After honing his experience at well-established restaurants, Chef Ed later went on to work for renowned Chef Gordon Ramsey and currently works with celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson.
One of the many highlights in Chef Ed’s career was creating a catering menu for the former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama at an intimate luncheon event, and competing on Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay in 2021.
In addition, Chef Ed curates unique dinners inspired by 90’s Hip Hop lyrics called Chef Ed’s Mix Tape Dinners where he hosted acts with Fat Joe, New York’s Hot 97 morning show, Source Magazine, Wu tang clan, Ralph McDaniels of Video Music Box, The LOX, Bad Boy artist, and more.
