HEAD MISFIT
Eric James never set out to be a chef—he simply enjoyed cooking. For him, food is about connection, whether it’s a special occasion or a casual gathering. What sets him apart is his judgment-free approach—he doesn’t care how someone likes their food, only that they leave happy. As a personal chef, he enjoys the freedom to be creative while giving clients exactly what they want, without the red tape. His journey wasn’t marked by a single defining moment; it evolved naturally through word-of-mouth and referrals. Outside the kitchen, his greatest joys are eating and traveling, and above all, he hopes to be seen as someone who genuinely cares—both through food and in life.
