Jorge Montes discovered his passion for food in high school and followed his dream to become a successful chef.

Chef Jorge started his own business in late 2008, a catering company called Chef George Catering. Aside from catering weddings and corporate events, Chef Jorge takes time to give back to the community and cater for local charities such as the March of Dimes and the United Way.

He also uses his culinary skills to interact with the community with a side business called Homemade Chefs. Homemade Chefs is an interactive cooking class that’s held between two to three times a week; he even hosts private classes.

Chef Jorge’s mission with Homemade Chefs is to make cooking approachable, to make it an experience. All his classes are themed, incorporating global cuisines. Each class ranges from $35 to $45 and registration is simple: just visit their Meetup.com page, select the class you’d like to attend and pay through PayPal.

In the interview below, Chef Jorge walks us through his businesses and even teaches us how to tend to an accidental burn (I wonder how many people know about his household remedy).
