Jordyn Bass started a meal prep business during the pandemic without experience in the restaurant industry. She left her office job to do something she was passionate about: cooking.
“When you hear ‘meal prep business’ you think of bland, boring food,” Bass said. “Like a rice, a vegetable, and meat.”to give people a variety of ethnic foods, but also to help people in her community live a healthier lifestyle. “I’m completely self-taught,” Bass said. “Without that background, people don’t take you seriously. Most chefs are men, seems like, so coming into this industry as a woman it took time to get people to respect me.”
