Thankfully, after 20 years of looking for the right home, Maye has found her perfect creative partner in the Van Mols. To celebrate her one-year anniversary at Anzie Blue, Maye was a made a part owner. She also has an upcoming cook book —— out June 23, hopes to expand Anzie Blue in a post-COVID world and Maye is a rising star in the food space.Star Maye: Through a mutual friend. Another chef friend of mine kind of brought me on to help at Anzie Blue in the beginning, maybe last March.
Baltin: I talk to so many musicians who love to cook because it's a creative release for them and different from what they're used to doing. Do you find that working there, you found sort of this natural correlation between music and cooking? Maye: Soul funk [laughter]. Put me some Bootsy Collins on and we gonna dance through the kitchen and get the job done, maybe some Earth, Wind & Fire. I like a good"Boogie Land," some"September."Maye: People come there for the side, Steve. I'm not gonna lie about it. The mac and cheese, the candies, sweet potatoes, the collard greens, the brussel sprouts, they are there for all of that.
Baltin: As we're talking about this, I'm realizing there's so many similarities between music and food and one of the big ones is, again, it takes you back. You hear a song that you heard when you're six years old and it takes you back to being six years old and you think about the mac and cheese you ate, or grilled cheese or whatever. So what are your throwback foods?
Maye: Oh, definitely made a huge difference, just having a person believe in what you're doing. I've never done it before. So for a person just to leap out and be like,"You can do this," that was worth a million bucks. I have been displaying this for so many years and it has fallen on deaf ears and blind eyes. But for some reason, I walked in this door and this lady is like,"I believe in you, you could do this," that definitely changes things.
