Jamisen Booker of Charlotte, NC will be featured on “Chopped” as he competes in an episode of “Trash into Treasure.”
A Charlotte chef will soon be in the national spotlight on one of Food Network’s hit television shows.
Jamisen Booker of The Asbury, a Southern restaurant in uptown, will be featured on “Chopped” as he competes in an episode of “Trash into Treasure” premiering on Tuesday.
“The Chopped competitors take on ingredients that would usually be thrown away in hopes of turning edible trash into culinary treasures,” the show’s synopsis states.
“In the appetizer round, all four chefs have zero reservations about the zero-waste theme, and they have big plans for the shrimp-centric basket. Then, a leftover dish and ignored vegetable tops create a culinary puzzle in the entrée round, and the two finalists make wise use of expired milk before time expires in the dessert round.”
Though this will be Booker’s first time dishing it out amongst other cooks in a reality TV competition, he is no stranger to the culinary world.
The Charlotte native, who developed a love for food inspired by his father, has been sharpening his culinary skills since he was a teenager.
Before joining the team at The Asbury inside The Dunhill Hotel, he also spent time working at Leah & Louise, Weathered Souls Brewing Co. and Barrister’s at The Esquire Hotel in Gastonia.
Only time will tell if Booker was able to rise above the rest to turn trash into treasure. You can tune in for yourself Tuesday, April 9 on Food Network at 8 p.m. EST.
