As a child, Nikki wanted to become a neurosurgeon but decided to study pharmaceutical science as she grew up. The talented chef studied at the Ohio State University and majored in Pharmaceutical Sciences. While working in a pharmacy, she was exposed to poor people who didn't have proper insurances, which the chef recalls as "disheartening."
The chef had studied science for her whole life which never really interested her. She believed that there was still a creative part inside her which she wanted to try out for herself. She picked up cooking as a hobby and tried blending her own style in the process.
Career and Net Worth
Nikki Steward pursued her career in the medical field while also coaching basketball to young kids. She felt very disheartened about her job but continued the work for some time. While also hustling through her day jobs, Nikki slowly built up her cooking skill practicing every evening. She would stay up late and experiment with food and its flavors. Soon, the home cook started to reach out to other restaurant chefs to improve her culinary art.
Eventually, she traveled to Thailand to train while also working alongside some chefs. Steward also learned to prepare Thai cuisine, which allowed her to try out other cuisines from different ethnicities. Her clients find it hard to believe that the American national never attended a culinary school. She learned the art from her grandparents and various chefs, one of them being chef Anthony Bourdain. She has been inspired by the late Chef Leah Chase too.
The chef cooked at Dave Chappelle's Summer Camp, a music event held by the comedian at Yellow Springs. The chef has also been on tour with DJ Khaled, making food in a new city almost every night. Her talent led her to host her first big cannabis party. Nikki had also received an order from American rapper Snoop Dogg for an event with 250 guests. The chef recalls her surprise and shared how she immediately said yes to the offer. Following the event, the African-American chef founded her company, The High-End Affair, to cater and host events. She has also blended her own unique food recipes and infused them with cannabis. Much of her income is generated through her culinary career.
Though Chef Nikki Steward's net worth is still not known to the public and media, we can say that she must have already amassed a fortune. Several Hollywood celebrities love her business and have hired her for their events, so Nikki must have indeed made a lot of money. And while the chef has stated that she worked in Snoop Dogg's event for free, she might have earned a significant amount from her recent works. She has also worked with brands like Weed Maps and Talking Terps. With such a rich history behind her work, the chef may have accumulated a considerable sum from her career.
Like Nikki, American chef Joanne Weir also gained celebrity status due to her cooking skills.
