Chef Tate
Chef Tate owns and operates Nurturing Chefs LA, Inc and participates with many local healthy-eating initiatives.

This sparked a new business, Everyday Elixir. With The Center’s guidance, Chef Tate is navigating the state requirements and licenses involved in opening a certified commercial kitchen.
