Not only is he one of the hottest and most talented up and coming chef's, he's the star of his own reality show Chef Roble & Co. which airs on Bravo TV.
On August 18th together with Skyy Vodka he brought the first ever installment of the Everyday People Brunch to Chicago and Provocative Expression was in the building!
He started the brunch/day party movement in New York with good friends Saada Medny and DJ Moma, which from what I understand, was a simple small get together for extremely diverse group of friends. Since then it has grown to be the ultimate day party experience with a super exclusive guest list in its home state. Roble often touts via his Instagram profile that the monthly New York installment is "invitation only" and if you're privileged enough to be extended actual membership "all we ask is trust". How secret society is that?! More recently the trio of comrades have taken the show on the road making stops in major cities all across the country.
I had a phenomenal time at the brunch. I ate, drank, partied and even got a little networking in. The icing on cake however, was actually meeting Roble and having him compliment the shirt I made especially for this event. My method was crude, I literally accosted the brother as he walked by but hey, you gottta do what you gotta do. (Lol)
By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to taste Roble's 'shrimp and grits' do not pass it up! I grew up in a household that favored buttered & sugared grits, so to have something so savory and flavorful just blew my mind.
I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next time Roble brunches in Chicago. However, I would love it even more to experience the famed New York event. The only thing better would be to attend the New York event as Roble's special guest. (You hear that universe?!) I already have tshirt #2 ready to go!
