We had the good fortune of connecting with Josh Perrier and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Josh, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
The most important lesson I’ve learned so far is that the ones who with you when you broke either become jealous, don’t support or start begging. The “ strangers “ be the ones showing love true love.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I think what set me apart from other chefs is that I cook with love that’s the very first thing because a lot of people just cook for money . Also I seen I cook from scratch a lot more than anyone. I love to make unique one of a kind dishes . I just keep going & never gave up . I think me having to fight all my life by myself I think it helped me with the “ I can’t quit “ mindset. It definitely haven’t been easy but nothing is . It’ll always be something that makes you cry or stress & hurt at the same time be happy and proud like jobs, relationships or school work. I think my story is a true testimony & it shows that you can overcome any obstacles that you have to face. Most times we don’t actually believe in ourselves we just believe that it’s possible so when we fail it’s like I seen them others do it why not me . Well maybe you personally not ready yet . So everything starts from within.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
See I really don’t go out like that so I’ll give them stuff like pinstacks which is bowling or something chill like chilis for margaritas. If they want food I’m the person to go to lol .

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I mean I can’t say one person because I base everything on real events so I’ll say a few people names. First is God & I’ll always thank him but kamrie, neasha , Kiara, camry. Those the ones who literally make me keep going & always make sure I’m ok . It’s some people I never met but they support me like we been knowing each other for years .
