Life Is A Circle Chef Jerome Grant and His Familial Culinary Journey WRITTEN BY: CARY WONG
Chef Jerome Grant
F or some people, it takes a long time to figure out where their talents lie and become stars in their chosen field. For Chef Jerome Grant, however, it seems as if he were destined to walk this path as a culinary master. Born in the Philippines, he came from a mixed background. His paternal Jamaican grandparents worked in the hospitality industry when they arrived in the United States. His Filipino mother got her start working—and learning English—in fast food restaurants. To add to the mix, his stepfather was stationed at various U.S. Air Force bases. As a result, he had the luxury of living in different places within the United States, like upstate New York, Oklahoma, and Idaho.
