Meet Christopher Haney | Content Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christopher Haney and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christopher, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
The most important lesson that I have been taught so far from managing dishwithchris, is not to compare myself to others. I feel like social media has allowed us to question our potential & worth because we always feel like it’s a competition when it comes to getting the most likes or following. I had to learn that everybody’s journey is different, just continue to be your authentic self.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Since the age of 13, I’ve always have been passionate about food. I always loved how food brought people together. I once wanted to become a pastry chef. I remember being inspired by watching the food channel all the time and saying to myself that I’m going to travel and vlog about the different foods that I tried from around the world and highlight my top favorite with my friends and family. A few years ago, my partner had encouraged me to start a blog where I can share my favorite restaurants & coffee spots. After going back and forth with the idea, I just decided to create dishwithchris. I think one of the biggest challenges was getting people to support my passions. Anything can get discouraging when you don’t have the right support system. I know in the past, I would give up on some of the things that made me happy because I allowed the negative opinions of others to get in my head. Now that I’m older, I’ve learned to do what makes me happy. If you go to sleep and wake up thinking about your passions, go after it. You never know who you are inspiring. Diswithchris is my food photography page that I created and manage on Instagram. I specialize in highlighting hidden gems whether they are restaurants, eatery, or coffee shops in the greater Atlanta area. Often my best discoveries are cute little neighborhood coffee shops. I’m most proud of the connections that I have made with other food influencers and also the ability to share my experiences and expose my viewers to places that they may not have experienced.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend is in town for the weekend, we would probably head to Ponce City Market rooftop and grab some frozen rosés. Since we are already up on the rooftop we would catch up on some good laughs at the 9-Mile station over some food. 9 Mile station has some of the best smoke wings and cocktails. The Next day we have to get our daily coffee fix at Daily Dose Coffee shop located in Reynoldstown and then get brunch at Nana’s Chicken & Waffle located in Conyers, GA. From this small itinerary, you can tell that we love to eat and our weekend full of going to different restaurants.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would shoutout my Fiancé, for always challenging me for the better, and supporting everything that I want to accomplish.
