Meet Bentley
Chef B, known as the "2am Chef," is an award winning Chef whose mastery over the art of chicken has earned him a following. His story is one of grit, talent, and an unwavering dedication to perfecting his craft.
Chef B started with a simple mission: to create the ultimate chicken dish that could satisfy the deepest of cravings and become the night's saving grace. Chef B began to experiment with flavors, spices, and techniques, drawing inspiration from California cuisines and the deep south tastes.
Word of mouth quickly spread about the chef who worked magic with chicken at ungodly hours. Whether it was his mouth-watering chicken sandwiches, the perfectly spiced wings that left a tingling sensation on the lips, or his secret-recipe fried chicken that was somehow both impossibly crispy and meltingly tender, Chef B delivered.His signature dish, however, was something that truly set him apart: the "Midnight Clucker" – a chicken delicacy that combined the juiciness of a perfectly fried bird with a proprietary (Bentley Bowl Seasoning) blend of spices that seemed to encapsulate the mystery of the night itself. Each bite left his “customers” wanting more.
