In 1994, he became the first Black chef to win the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef Award. The famed chef touched on his ideology during a 1994 interview shared on YouTube by the African American Chefs Hall of Fame. Patrick's remarks weren't a knock against Black American cuisine. Instead, it was an unapologetic declaration that Black chefs can't — and won't — be pigeonholed. Black chefs at that time were fighting stereotypes that they could only excel at making soul food.

☆ Don't budget, says financial psychologist. Here's why he recommends a 'spending plan' instead

"It's about giving yourself permission to start the life stage that you're in and then go on to the next one," said Cherry. Jump-start your financial journey by being honest with yourself on where you are standing.
