Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Febres.

Hi Jason, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am gonna go ahead and voice text so if you see any typos, my apologies, I started my career at the age of 15 working in as many restaurants as I could French, Vietnamese, Italian, around 18 I landed my first good job at a French restaurant And continue to work until it was time to come to the United States all of this happen in Venezuela by the way

When I got here, I open a Latin restaurant called Sabor and after that it went uphill thanks to God we became the best restaurant in Wichita, and my face was in all the magazines and newspapers. I want the best chef in town at the celebrity. Chef cookoff for years. Nobody else holds their record and I also started doing private dinners at a second restaurant that I end up opening called Taste and See. Now there’s winners where quite a bit exotic and he got national attention. I end up getting calls from Food Network and different other Food Network and appeared in shows like bar rescue, grocery games with Guy Fieri and cut kitchen Alton Brown among a few others I became also the private chef for a billionaire family, and after that God open some other doors to where I am currently, I own a catering business that operates in four states and we serve an average of 300 weddings a year

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has definitely not been smooth. I have had highs and downs like any other person, but God has seen me through all of it. Restaurants have shut down that I had and I was very discouraged, but then other grade doors opened to more opportunities. I have learned to trust God in the process.

Serve what people wants not only what you like that is the secret to succeed in the restaurant business, and even then it is not guarantee
