From Mopping Floors to Creating a Michelin Plate Award-Winning Culinary Collective
Chef Brad Wise’s foray into the world of foodservice took place when he was just 12 years old while tagging along with a friend to a pizza and cheesecake spot. Jake’s Pizza was located in his hometown of Cape May, a seaside city at the tip of southern New Jersey. The serendipitous tag-along led to a job mopping floors, and right off the bat, Wise liked the comradery the restaurant industry offered. At the time, his peers had a bigger impact on him than the culinary side of things, he admits.
