Chef Lulu Chustz
Welcome to my kitchen! I’m Chef Lulu Chustz, your friendly neighborhood Personal Chef, here to save you from the dinner-time panic with healthy, hassle-free, and downright delicious meals. After years on the road with a culinary startup, cooking for high-end clients and stars (yes, I have some fun stories!), I’ve returned home to New Orleans on a mission: to make cooking so easy, even your microwave be jealous. Let’s turn your kitchen into a place tasty meals happen faster than you can say “what’s for dinner?”!
TV Appearances
You may have seen me competing on the Food Networks, "Supermarket Stakeout" or "Cooks vs Cons." Making it to the final rounds on both shows. Was robbed twice. Am I bitter about it? Only a little. : p
