We had the good fortune of connecting with Chef FLAVA P and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chef FLAVA, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Being fearless, Innovative and leading with love! Those are some of my core values that I promote through my brand everyday.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an artist, Chef , and rapper or as I like to say lyricist. There is not a Chef out there pushing their culinary purpose like I do. It’s special because I push and cook from the heart, my dishes are conversation pieces rather than just plated food. I paint canvas while cooking for my clients and the beautiful part is when I cook art and plate the art on top of the art I just painted and it creates a cutting edge experience that people have never experienced before. My favorite part of my culinary process is when the food is eaten off the canvas and I get to take the artwork that has added character now from remnants of left behind food and preserve them. After the preservation process, my pieces of art are ready to be put in the homes of my clients as new reputable pieces in their art collection. The whole process is so special to me as I studied the process for a whole year before going live with the concept and people really love it. I LOVE that people love me expressing myself no matter how unorthodox it is. Oh! I also rap about my food endeavors and my brand of seasoning “SAVOURDUST “ (the jingle gets the people going everytime) being able to be fluid in my expression is such a blessing

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them through the A. I love my city it’s always so much to do! For grub we would go to the many food truck parks! There are so many talented chefs with mobile food cites in Atlanta. For entertainment we would go to karaoke as I am a professional so the experience is always grand lol I would take my friend to the “Justice league compound” aka FOOD AND LIFESTYLE TV so they can see me and my super talented colleagues do what we do best…..cook , entertain, and inspire! We would also have to go to botanical gardens and soak up the energy and beautiful scenery there. I would take my friend to my meditation rock which is located at my favorite river(it’s a secret) for nourishment. Then we would go down to Edgewood to bar hop and turn up at the red lights while tweaking on the headlight’s lol
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
FOOD AND LIFESTYLE TV , This is the network that I am apart of who plays a really big part in my tv Chef career. They support me, groom me and allow my magic to shine as organic as possible!
