Chef Rudy Straker

Raised along with two brothers by his Cuban and Bajan parents in Queens, NY, Chef Rudy garnered much of his inspiration and passion for the industry through his time spent at the renowned Institute of Culinary Education (Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School). Upon graduating, he embarked upon his professional career by gaining employment at some of the finest local and regional restaurants and hotels in NY such as the Patria and Marriott Corporation. It was at the Patria where Executive Chef Douglas Rodriguez took notice and added Chef Rudy to his award-winning team. Rodriguez immediately converted into Chef Rudy’s mentor further refining his skills and abilities. Eventually, he needed to spread his wings, and moved to Miami, Florida.

While in Miami, he gained a wide client list by catering for clients within the film and television industry. Concurrently, he caught the eye of Chef Maxcel Hardy and was recruited to work alongside him at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood Florida as Executive Sous Chef. He later returned to New York City, alongside Chef Maxcel Hardy, anchoring his company Chef Max New York, and working as Part-time to former NBA player, Amare’ Stoudemire.

As a result, Chef Rudy served as the Executive Chef at the world renowned Madison Square Garden in NYC for two years before resigning to focus full-time on his own successful Private Chef and Catering businesses. Founded in 2013, Chef Rudy LLC and ROS Catering are two high end, upscale catering companies that focus on Private Chef work, Corporate and Private Event Catering as well as dinner parties to clients in the tri- state area. Within both of these positions, Chef Rudy has prepared dishes for some very high profile clients such as Ben Stiller, Liam Neilson, Taylor Swift, JR Smith, NY Knicks Owner James Dolan, Kate Upton, Tyrese, Sarah Jessica Parker, Willie Randolph and Whoopi Goldberg, to name a few.

OMG-Lato! is currently sold at Madison Square Garden and restaurants in New York City, and is expected to be available at other major sports and entertainment venues across the Tri-State area within the next few months.

With everything he does, Chef Rudy reaffirms his commitment to the elevation of the culinary arts. He is a passionate advocate for keeping food simple by using the best ingredients and artistically prepares and presents his dishes in their purest form. He is very well versed and experienced in a variety of cuisines such as Mediterranean, Asian, Kosher, Indian, French, Italian and Caribbean.

Fried Chicken & Caviar

Who says all soulmates have to be romantic? Friends can be soulmates too! That’s what we are, soulmates. Brought together by our passion for good food and fellowship. The right mix of quirky, all things rachet, and bourgeois. That’s us!
We actually went to highschool together, but didn’t know each other. Then one magical day Nik slid in Chi’s DM like “ I didn’t know you cook!” That was it, that was all that it took. We’ve been inseparatable ever since. We both have our own food businesses and passion projects built around Black excellence and help each other out here and there, but our chemistry is so strong and abundant. It was only right and that in October 2018 Fried Chicken &
Caviar was born. At that time it was a small dinner party in a line of events leading up to The SpeakEasy Detroit Storyteller’s Edtion, which Nik had launched the year prior. Fried Chicken & Caviar is what happens when two creatives come together organically to explore and create both comforting and classy food experiences. Fried Chicken & Caviar is what happens when you’re a little weird, a little hood, and a little bougie. We are very much Fried Chicken & Caviar!
