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 on Season One of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef, where I cooked my way to the semi-finals! Next Level Chef 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 19 years ago as a personal chef, providing cooking lessons and meal prep to anyone for any occasion.  Today, I’m a sought-after performance private chef for professional athletes, consultant, and baker. I’m the chef agents refer during contract extension years, short and long-term rehabilitation, and in-season/off-season culinary services. I’ve invested hundreds of hours developing flavorful recipes to accommodate my clients and their specific dietary 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 for culinary experiences, and learning how to create unique flavor profiles with spices and herbs. I curated curry blends (Indian, Jamaican and Thai Red) and 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! I’ve worked with NBA Champions, MLB World Series Champions, Olympic Gold medalists, and NFL players. My current and former clients continue to excel in their respective sports. I’ve also worked for Adidas Basketball as their private chef for exclusive NBA and WNBA related events.

Listed below are some notable clients I have worked for: 

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