I waited 20 years for an opportunity to work in an environment that nourishes women's unique strengths.” — Star MayeNASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Chef Star Maye is defying all odds and breaking barriers as a black, female, queer, veteran, executive chef, in the south. In an industry where minority groups are not likely to be seen in top positions such as executive chef, Maye hopes her story inspires others to pursue their dreams, despite the challenges they may face.
Prior to Chef Star Maye earning the title as executive chef at Anzie Blue , in Nashville, TN, she spent 20 years working in the shadows of the male-dominated restaurant industry. Anzie Blue is proud to pave the way for other restaurants to defy industry norms by appointing a female executive chef.
“I waited 20 years for an opportunity to work in an environment that nourishes women's unique strengths,” said Maye.
It is too rare that restaurants, especially in the South, announce the appointment of female, BIPOC and queer kitchen leaders, but Maye's executive chef appointment shows that there is hope for those who don't fit the executive chef 'mold.'
With an extensive culinary background, she has previously held leadership positions at well-known dining venues in and around Nashville, such as The Palm, City Winery and the Governor's Club. As a graduate of the Culinary Institute, and after honing her craft, Maye is passionate about creating distinctive dishes inspired by her love of soul food.
