The Daily Meal: How and when did you know that cooking was your calling?
Robert Stewart: I always enjoyed great food, trying different restaurants growing up, but it was my grandmother who put the passion in my heart for food. I’ve seen how good food makes people happy, so I decided to attend Eastern Vocational Technical High School in Maryland, majoring in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management. After exploring a few career choices and doing inventory of my life I decided that I wanted my own restaurant and never looked back. Everything else was always a job. Cooking I could do with my eyes closed. It really hit home when I lost my home in Atlanta and was forced to move back to Baltimore. My first day back, I got a job as a line cook at Chick and Ruth's Deli.
He has been featured in magazines, radio and television shows, and recently made a guest appearance on OWN’s reality show “Raising Whitley” with comedians Kym Whitley and Luenell. Serving dishes such as shrimp cocktail lollipops, steak and chicken skewers, Maryland crab balls, fried chicken, butternut squash risotto and more, Stewart –known as Chef Stew – has satiated many appetites with his five-star cuisine.
The journey to get to where he is today started in Stewart’s hometown of Baltimore, Md., where he says his grandmother’s cooking had a lasting impression on him.
After graduating from Eastern Technical High School, Stewart obtained a degree in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management and a degree in Business Management from Essex Community College. He held over 35 jobs, from KFC to the Ritz-Carlton and Turner Broadcasting, during a time when careers in the food industry began to grow.
Chef stew has been on now dash radio,turnttv,sistercircle,hoodrichradio,and will and sasha radio. Chef stew was just on marriage bootcamp season 16 on we tv. And lastly was on supermarket stakeout toast to the competion on food network.

I had no idea that it would lead to some much. I do remember learning the importance of a definitive aim, a burning achievement for one accomplishment and sticking to it through hell and hot water, being relentless in my pursuit, and having faith in myself and the universe. I just wanted a restaurant, which I currently don't have, but I ended up becoming a Food Network star, personal chef to Luenell. I’ve appeared on Roland Martin’s show @TvoneTv, Raising Whitley on OWN, Fox 45. I’m also the owner of a catering company, clothing line, have comic cook sponsors, host Bringing It to the Table [a reality TV show based on chefs in the Bay Area] and have won countless awards and interviews for my accomplishments. I can't and wouldn't change a thing! My only complaint is that the one who taught me passed away before I was able to show her everything that was in the deck for her grandson.
