In his 30 years in the culinary field chef John Reed has served as executive chef at restaurants around the world and as a teacher closer to home. Today he wears another hat, that of culinary consultant helping businesses ranging from caterers to food equipment managers improve their operations.
“I realized some companies needed certain skill sets but couldn’t afford to have someone of my skill level on the payroll full time,” said Reed of his company, Customized Culinary Solutions in Skokie.
