Black Women Who Had Their Best Year in 2020
Alexia Grant, “Chef Lex”
Good food makes life so much worthwhile, and Alexia Grant, or “Chef Lex,” knows a thing or two about good food. Founder of Eat Me Up Cuisine, Chef Lex serves up tasty meals to celebrities and other high-profile clients. Her passion for crafting delectable recipes keeps her business thriving. This year, to keep everyone safe amid the pandemic, the NBA decided to continue their 2019–2020 season in a “bubble” at the Disney campus in Orlando. Because of intense safety protocols, they needed people to cook food for the ballers and staff members since no one could leave. Chef Lex, among others, was chosen to feed the players and NBA staff. Her pop-up restaurant, Comfort Kitchen (specializing in Southern and Caribbean comfort food), became insanely popular, with coaches and players shouting her out on social media.
