Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Morant.
Hi Stephen, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m a proud graduate of the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. I’ve gained valuable experience working at Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Lexington and the Capital City Club in downtown Columbia, SC. These opportunities taught me the importance of food preparation, salad artistry, and what it truly means to be a professional in the kitchen.
My specialties include Soul Food, Italian dishes, and Seafood. My motto is “Soul Food With A Twist!” — because I love putting a creative spin on traditional flavors. Through S. Soul Cuisine LLC, I’m currently working toward launching my own food truck in the near future.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I definitely had some challenges along the way. While I attended Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, I had some challenges financially. Finding a job that paid decent and attending Classes online wasn’t always easy. I almost failed out of Culinary school, working at jobs like Amazon and Allied Universal. Long Story short I graduated and started working at the Capital City Club as a full-time Cook. Two months into the job my grandfather pasted away from Covid 19. The head of my family was gone and I didn’t no how to handle everything at first. So I was working two full-time jobs as a Cook in the kitchen during the day, and a Security Guard at night. Sometime these situations only make you stronger and more determine.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I started my Company February 7, 2021 after I graduation from Culinary in November of 2020. My goal was to started a personal Chef Business.
