@chefcuso
Jack Mancuso began his cooking career during college when he started grilling for his house full of roommates. He self-taught himself how to cook through the internet, googling recipes and watching other people grill. Needless to say, his college friends couldn’t have been happier.
From then on out, his cooking expertise only grew. As his reputation in the kitchen grew, he moved to social media, immediately feeling the impact of his newfound skills, drawing immense exposure, so much that it resulted in him working with top musicians and athletes from the MLB, MMA and NFL all around the country, thirsting for his grilling advice. His accounts have grown exponentially since he started, now amassing over 1 million followers and 16 million likes on his flagship platform TikTok.
When he’s not cooking, Jack often travels, and whether he’s snowboarding in the Swiss Alps to swimming on the island of Sicily, Jack credits some of his cooking expertise to his eclectic experiences. When he’s not firing up his grill, he’s working full-time as Sales Mech Engineer for a top commercial HVAC firm on the west coast. Jack also has two dogs, a Mastiff and a Cane Corso/German Shepard, who are sometimes featured in his videos.

Kelsey Shade
At a very young age, Kelsey fell in love with the art of cooking. She learned the basics of cooking from her Italian grandmother. She began to realize how cooking brought family together and it soon became like second nature to her. By age 12, she had already known that she wanted to turn her love for the kitchen into a career. Kelsey worked at The Culinary Institute of America and McCormick doing recipe development and teaching cooking classes. Her latest achievement involved Kelsey teaching at a cooking school in Italy where she learned most of her pasta making skills.
Her first video on TikTok, which featured her showing the audience how to properly use and hold a knife, reached 2 million views and hit 100k followers in just two weeks. She noticed that many of her followers wanted to cook chef worthy recipes but were intimidated of the kitchen. So she began posting simple techniques and tips that would help people become more comfortable cooking at home. Her passion for cooking and helping home cooks learn simple recipes that can bring their families closer together like hers, is the reason she continues to cook.
