Chris Spear – The Personal Chef Behind Chefs Without Restaurants

Chef Chris Spear works his magic not from the chaotic depths of a restaurant kitchen, but from the mobility of his own food truck. His company, Perfect Little Bites, operates a private-chef-at-your-doorstep experience based in Frederick, Maryland. Today, he’ll talk about why his restaurant working experiences inspired him to become an entrepreneur, his desire to build a local culinary community, and how the concept of his unique business has evolved. He’s also a fellow podcaster, hosting Chefs Without Restaurants, so we’ll chat about the benefits and challenges of podcasting.
