ABOUT ME
About Zachary
I’m from Susan Moore, Alabama, and my interest in food started with agriculture. Working on farms when I was younger made me appreciate how much goes into growing something before it ever makes it to the kitchen. As I became more interested in cooking, that stayed with me.
I’ve always liked being able to work with my hands and see something come together. Cooking gives me a chance to do that while continuing to learn. There’s usually something I want to understand better or try differently, even with dishes I’ve made before.
I still have a lot I want to learn. The more experience I get, the more questions I have, and that’s part of what keeps me interested in this field.
Where I’m headed
I want to keep growing Chef Sach and have people come back because they enjoyed both the food and the experience. I also want to keep putting myself in situations where I have more to learn and people around me who can help me improve.
In the short term
- Build a consistent client base for Chef Sach and develop relationships with the people who book with me.
- Get better about documenting my dishes and techniques so I can return to them, make adjustments, and keep improving.
- Continue improving how I lead a kitchen, especially when it comes to explaining expectations and helping the team prepare for service.
Over time
- Build relationships with more farmers and producers and work more directly with the ingredients they grow.
- Develop my own cooking style through experience in different kitchens and learning from other chefs.
