About Chef Mashama Bailey
Mashama is a New York City girl – born in the Bronx and raised in Queens. Thanks to the women in her family — grandmothers, aunts and her mom — she learned to cook and became passionate about the power of food to tell stories. Chef Bailey attended the Institute of Culinary Education and also did a six-month stage at Château du Feÿ in Burgundy, France to improve her cooking techniques.
After working 12 years in New York restaurants, Mashama was invited by John Morisano to become the partner and executive chef at his new Southern restaurant in Georgia, The Grey, set in a former Greyhound bus terminal in downtown Savannah. With a penchant for regional produce, seafood and meats, Chef Bailey is always bringing new ideas to the restaurant.
The Grey was a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Best New Restaurant award, with Chef Bailey winning Best Chef Southeast award in 2019. Not to be missed, she was featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table in 2019 and became the first African American chef to star on the acclaimed show.
