Well where do i begin,I guess growing up in a household full of great cook's like my Grandfather,Grandmother,and Mom It was inevitable that i would grow up to be a great cook like them.My Grandfather had 3 restaurants in Turkey the first one opened in 1951 at Yesilkoy Airport,the second in 1954 in the town of Beyazit University Restaurant and the third one in 1960 in Galatasaray Called Susa which is still in operation today.My family all worked there before they came to the USA in the mid 60's,and they brought all their recipes with them.I can remember as kid hanging out with my grandfather on the weekends cooking in his little Grill/Hut behind their house.Every week end weather permitting or not we grilled for the whole family.Everybody knew my Grand Pa was cooking the decadent aroma of the meats,fish,vegetable just permiated the air in our neighborhood.We as a very large family would all get together and would have a great feast of meats,fish,salad's and rice,from that moment on i knew what my goal in life was,It would be following in his foot steps as a cook.So that being said i now have 2 great kids of my own who help me cook when they come over on the weekends.My daughter Hailey and son Kaya-Owen,We have loads of fun cooking,baking cookies for school,hand rolling out the meatballs for the marinara( my son makes the tiny ones,they usually get lost in the sauce) we have loads of fun and it's easy and great to get my children involved in cooking at an early age. This is to ensure that if later on in life when they become independent and head off to college they will not starve.Myself i am currently employed by Culinart,working as the Executive Chef for Seton Hall Law University in Newark Nj and hopefully will be for a while longer,But who know's what the future holds for me? Afiyet Olsun America (Have a Great Meal) Chef Jay.
