Welcome to Food4Thought! My name is Benjamin “Benny” Grant, and I look forward to being YOUR private chef.
I was born and raised in Washington DC and developed a passion for cooking at an early age. After graduating high school, I worked for a year in a top tier fine dining restaurant in Washington to see if my passion matched my willingness to work in a tough kitchen environment. Not only was I willing, I was hooked! The following year I started at the renowned Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.
Since finishing at the Culinary Institute of America, I honed my skills in restaurants across New York, Philadelphia, and DC. I have over fifteen years of experience cooking in fine dining restaurants. I worked my way up the culinary ladder—and met many amazing people along the way! I worked for many tough chefs who taught me how to cook and manage a kitchen. I have also cooked for the Washington Wizards, the Washington Nationals, the Washington Mystics and the Capital City GoGo. For these clients, I worked with certified nutritionists to provide healthy meals of the highest quality to help them reach their athletic potential.
Food is my love language. Food makes sense to me. I want to make people happy through food—one delicious meal at a time. I left the restaurant industry in April of 2022 and started Food4Thought to do just that. Food4Thought offers private chef services and catering, weekly meal preparation and delivery, and cooking lessons.
I’m Chef Benny, and I look forward to being YOUR private chef.
