Brooke “Chef Bae” Baevsky started off making $2,000 pizzas and $200 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a parody of LA’s over-the-top lifestyle. But then her wealthy clients saw…
“I used to do the overpriced content as a parody. But clients saw it and thought it was so funny, they asked me to make it for dinner,” she said.Suddenly, the Massachusetts native and natural foods specialist had an entirely new career sparked by her social media fame-chasing: Dreaming up six-figure dishes for wealthy Angelenos as a winking way to impress their friends.
Indeed, requests for gourmet Goldfingering have become so commonplace that Baevsky now keeps a stash of gold leaf in her kitchen at all times.It’s an unlikely profile for a woman whose path to cooking was sparked by her own family’s food issue — including allergies to peanuts, peas, dairy, and soy, plus a case of Celiac disease.So Baevsky started experimenting with food as a child, keen to make delicious dinners that the entire family could enjoy.
“They’re the people who don’t want to seem like a nuisance, but it’s ‘peep peep’ over at my waiters,” she said with a laugh. ‘They start saying ‘I don’t eat cold food, I’m Whole 30, I don’t eat refined sugar, I’m vegan.’”Meanwhile, clients who breezily say “Oh, I eat everything,” she warns, usually mean the opposite.
They’re the elite catering world’s answer to a drug dealer, summoned by text and arriving on a bike with a bag —inside it, there’s a $600 truffle tuber ready to shave.
