Chef Ed Harris
Ed Harris - ”Chopped” Winner on Food Network and a Consulting Chef
Chef Ed Harris started in kitchens at his mother’s side in St. Lucia and around the Caribbean, but soon his raw energy and drive landed him at New York City’s famous Buddakan. Ed served as the sous chef for several years and was soon invited to compete on some the Food Network shows.
