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

Hi Jamie, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing.” – Ram Dass

In a world where the number of likes and followers can impact a person’s perception of self-worth and value, this quote reminds me that I am loved and the best at being me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Comfort is a state of mind most of us understand well and strive for. Food has always been a comfort to me. In times of happiness, sadness, or celebration- a great meal offers me the comfort that I need and love. I enjoy capturing those moments and being able to share them with people makes it all worth the while.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Friday Night- Happy hour would be at Rooftop LOA to watch the sunset while sipping on yummy martinis. Dinner at The Optimist, and we can end the night with a fun concert at Terminal West.

Saturday- We could walk the Beltline and head to Ponce City Market or Krog Street Market for lunch. Dinner at Umi for sushi and then walk to The Garden Room for cocktails.

Sunday- Sundays are fun days so we could grab a bite at Chattahoochee Food Hall and then head to The 3rd Spot for some games.

I’d use the rest of the week to check out the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Zoo Atlanta, and the Fernbank Museum with the city pass.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Without a doubt, I’d have to say that I am who I am today thanks to the support and love of my family and friends.
