Welcome to Woman Crush Wednesday!

This week, join 97.9 The Hill’s Ali Evans for a conversation with Alexis Lawson, Owner of Chef Lex Meals. Chef Lex is based in Durham and offers delicious catering for events small and large, customized meal preparation services, and private bartending services.

Alexis received formal culinary training at Johnson and Wales in Charlotte, and went on to work for Bonefish Grill, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and J. Alexander’s in Raleigh. Alexis says her passion for sharing love through food started long before her career kicked off, though. Cooking is “something that comes very naturally for me from a very young age… just watching my grandmother cook, my mom cook, my aunt cook. It’s just something that I kind of picked up and took on as my own. So it runs deep in my blood.”

For Alexis, family is everything. After the birth of her daughter, and the sudden passing of her grandmother, Alexis realized that time is precious, and no longer wanted to put in long hours & weekends in a kitchen. Chef Lex Meals was the answer.

Not only has starting her own company created the opportunity to cook and prepare meals on her own time, but Alexis is proud to give her clients more free time too. “You’re spending less time cooking, cleaning, going to the grocery shop and your meals are already fully prepared. So it’s a win win!”
