Since 2023, the Favorite Chef competition has been igniting the culinary world, uniting top chefs, passionate home cooks, and creative food artists in an epic showdown of skill and flavor.

Competitors are divided into groups and advance through public voting rounds. Each round progressively reduces the number of competitors. 

One culinary creator will take home $25,000, appear in Taste of Home magazine, and cook with celebrity chef Carla Hall. 

Coushatta’s Ashaunta Bradley has reached the round of Top 20 and is currently vying for the Top 15. 

Bradley shared, “I bring creativity, passion, & dedication to every dish, combining flavors & techniques that excite the senses and elevate every bite.”

Top 15 voting ends April 17. Cast your vote to help him reach the Top 15 here.

If he wins the competition, he plans to “invest in my small business, a heartfelt endeavor that celebrates my family’s legacy and heritage. By sharing this personal project, I aim to inspire others through recipes that not only showcase my soul food passion but also foster connection and community.”
