Brunch chef…? Never saw that comin’. (career update/story time below)

Over the better part of the last two years, I’ve been quietly locked in on a project that I would have never predicted in a million years. What started as a temporary consulting contract quickly turned into a full-time, permanent position: Executive Chef of a monster brunch program in Roseville, of all places.

Through a connection made by our mutual friend Omar, owners Havva and Sofyan reached out late in 2024 in need of some assistance. They needed the mind of a chef to help turn their brunch dreams into reality. The space was ready. They even had a menu drafted. The caveat? I had less than 1 month to go from idea to execution. We inked the contract and I was off the races.

Looking back, I’ve worked more than a few brunch shifts in my career (usually hungover and hating life bc I probably closed the night before). Looking back even further, to my childhood, I was notorious for requesting breakfast for dinner - opting to go to Dennys for special occasions just so I could order a grand slam in the evening. Even as an adult, diners and breakfast houses still hit a resounding note of nostalgia for me. I guess I’ve always held a special place for breakfast in my heart… but never did I ever think I’d be make a living off slanging eggs.

But here we are! Hundreds of thousands of mouths fed (on average, 2300 covers per week). Tens of thousands of pounds of potatoes cut and blanched and cooked on the plancha. And probably close to the half million mark of eggs scrambled, flipped or poached… I’ve found home in an unexpected place called The Pantry.

I’ll be here for a while, ensuring the success of Havva and Sofyan’s dream restaurant. So far, the general opinion about our offering seems to be mostly positive. But hey don’t check me, check them Yelp reviews lol. We’re open seven days a week and I would love to make breakfast for ya sometime. Pull up on the boy and see what we’ve got goin’ on :) taken in The Pantry by @byronthe3rd
