From Hell’s Kitchen to Viral Cuban Food | Chef Brad Delgado

Chef Brad Delgado shares his journey from an unconventional early life and drama classes to working in professional kitchens and appearing on Hell’s Kitchen. In this episode, Brad opens up about getting burned—literally and figuratively—finding his voice through Cuban comfort food, and building a brand through content, livestreaming, and storytelling.

We talk about creativity, resilience, advice for young chefs and content creators, and what the next five years look like for one of Miami’s most authentic culinary voices.
