Hi my name is Eli Kerbel, I am 20 years old and I am training to be a chef. I chose to become a Chef because of my great love for food, and so I could understand the food I love so much it better. As a child I was an extremely picky eater, and as I grew up my horizons expanded. Now it is hard for me to find a food that I do not like. I love meat and bar-b-quing, it is my dream to one day open my own bar-b-que and smoker based restaurant. I found my love for food and cooking when I was two years old. When I would help my mom make cakes and other goods for me and my brothers. As I grew up I started watching the food network as well I started to cook more and more. Now food is my passion and I hope to peruse it a a career, and to find my niche in the vast spectrum of a field.
