This Detroit native is the Executive Chef and Co-Owner of two time Michelin Star awardee (2022 & 2023) Clover Hill. He has been named a semifinalist for the James Beard Emerging Chef (2022) and Best Chef (2023) awards, and is New York City's first (and only) Black Michelin-starred chef, as well as the second Black executive chef in the country to receive the honor. Charlie credits his grandmother with his passion for cooking. In 2016, at the urging of the chef he worked for at the time, he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a chef where he’s worked at powerhouses such as Eleven Madison Park, One White Street and more.
