Welcome to the World of Celebrity Chef Robert Stewart
A father, gourmet chef/caterer, motivational speaker, and TV personality only briefly describes some of the titles of Robert “Chef Stew” Stewart, who was born in Baltimore, Md. It all begins at Eastern Vocational Technical High School in Maryland, majoring in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management. After graduating from Eastern Technical High School, Stewart obtained a degree in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management and a degree in Business Management from Essex Community College. After exploring a few career choices and doing inventory of his life, Chef Stew decides that he wants his own restaurant.
“Everything else was always a job. Cooking I could do with my eyes closed.” It really hit home when he lost his home in Atlanta and was forced to move back to Baltimore. “My first day back, I got a job as a line cook at Chick and Ruth’s Deli” he says. Like the saying goes “For it was by design that I would walk through these doors before I could walk on my own,” and to remind himself of this phrase he has collected over 45 pay stubs from each place where he has been employed during his journey, creating a reminiscent collage of just that.
“I always enjoyed great food, trying different restaurants growing up, but it was my grandmother who put the passion in my heart for food.”
After gaining popularity for both his mouth watering food and his vibrant personality in the Atlanta entertainment industry, Chef decided to bring the world into the kitchen by filming “Industry Soup w/ Chef Stew” which allowed everyone to get a glimpse into the life of a Celebrity Chef. After seven years of building a formidable reputation and starting his catering company called “Stewarts Bistro Gourmet Catering,” Chef Stew decided to transition to California so he could expand his brand to the westcoast. Moving to California has been a dream come true for him, taking him from Baltimore, Md. to the hallway of Food Network, where he was a contestant on “Guy’s Grocery Games” and went on to become the winner of Cutthroat Kitchen(Season 8 Episode 9) 2016.
Chef Stew has gained several clients in both the Corporate and Entertainment industries, who solicit his services for catering and private dinners while traveling across the country.His impressive clientele includes actress/comedian Luenell, Lalah Hathaway, Jasmine Guy, Tony Terry, Demetria McKinney, Shaquille O’Neal, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and Tracee Ellis Ross. Stewart has made appearances on the OWN Network’s Raising Whitley; Food Network shows like Guy’s Grocery Games and Cutthroat Kitchen; his hometown of Baltimore’s FOX 45 morning show; and the Delmarva Life Morning Show.
Chef Stew’s energy is invested in all ventures equally. He continues to pursue his dream of giving back to his community since starting a nonprofit organization based in Baltimore Md. called “Transition Kitchen Foundation”, a thirty day culinary arts program dedicated to teaching life skills through culinary arts while exposing learners to the endless opportunities in the food and beverage industry. From catering events throughout the United States, Chef Stew enjoys cooking and making people feel good through his exquisite five-star cuisine.
