Alisha Elenz went from cashier to prep cook to Executive Chef by 23. She became a two-time James Beard nominee, won Rising Chef of the Year, and cooked her way to Top Chef Season 21. But climbing the ranks wasn’t the finish line—building her own thing was. Now she runs Whisk the Night Away, a private dining company where she’s rewriting the rules as a chefpreneur. In this week’s episode—recorded live at Startup Grind Chicago—Chef Alisha steps to the mic to share how she built her lane, what it takes to run a food business, and why entrepreneurship might be the best recipe of all.
Original recording date: Jan 23, 2025.
