our roots

Hello everyone!

I am Chef Courtney Brown, known as Chef Court - welcome to my website where my passion for cooking and baking is featured!  This passion landed me a spot on Season One of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef, where I cooked my way to the semi-finals! Next Level Chef aired on Fox TV and can be streamed on HULU. I was cast in a background role, where I’m featured cooking a traditional Roti and curry meal, in the Netflix biopic Shirley, about the life of Shirley Chisholm, starring Academy Award winner Regina King, and directed by Academy Award winner John Ridley. In 2022, I received a Proclamation from the Mayor and the City Council of the City of South Fulton, GA, celebrating my culinary achievements.

I began my culinary career 18 years ago as a personal chef providing chef services, cooking lessons and meal prep to anyone for any occasion.  Through a series of referrals I transitioned into a private chef and baker for professional athletes, coaches, entertainers and their families.  I invested hundreds of hours developing delicious recipes to accommodate my clients and their special needs.  I can prepare a variety of authentic cuisines including:  Asian, Caribbean, American, Mexican, French, Mediterranean, and Cajun, to name a few. I honed my craft by immersing myself in other cultures, traveling to various parts of the world and bringing back recipes, spices and hands-on experience. I developed a line of curries (Indian, Jamaican and Thai Red) which are very tasty! If you like curry you’ll love these blends. And, I created a line of artisan cookies, Courtney Cookies, which I bake and ship to customers throughout the USA. 

I believe that nutrition is an important component in keeping you mentally sharp while performing and living your best life!

In 2016, my current and former clients reached the pinnacle in their respective sports. The Cleveland Cavaliers, coached by Tyronn Lue, made history winning the NBA Championship in June. Kyle Lowry won gold at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in  August. Dexter Fowler won the World Series with the Chicago Cubs in November.  In July of 2017 I began working for Preston Brown, an NFL Linebacker for the Buffalo Bills. His fitness goals were to lose weight and body fat, increase his speed and agility, and sustain his endurance for optimal performance throughout the season. Preston lost 15 pounds and 4% body fat; he led the NFL in tackles with 144, and the Buffalo Bills made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years!  In 2021, I worked for two Atlanta Hawks players, who had an impressive run to the Eastern Conference Finals of the NBA playoffs. During the off season, I worked in Philadelphia for a highly sought after NBA Free Agent. I also work for Adidas Basketball a few times per year, as their private chef for exclusive NBA and WNBA related events.

Listed below are some notable clients I have worked for: 

OG Anunoby | Kyle Lowry | Trae Young | Onyeka Okongwu | Tyronn Lue | Chauncey Billups | Kevin Garnett | Larry Hughes | Dexter Fowler | Preston Brown | Unytd | Minnesota Timberwolves | Adidas Basketball
