CANNABIS CHEF +
CREATIVE DIRECTOR, FOOD + FLOWER MAGAZINE
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Brandin LaShea has always been surrounded by all things fashion and food. Throughout her life she has been lucky enough to combine her multiple passions— from modeling for some of LA’s top designers, featured in Marie Claire and NYLON magazines for her street style, appearing on Chopped420, featured in RollingStone Magazine, to her strong presence on the leading cannabis content app ALTRD.TV with her hit cooking show Pot Pie.
Coming from a multi-cultural family, she was exposed to and has experienced cooking an assortment of cuisines. LaShea is deeply tied to her African American, Native American, Italian and Irish roots. Her passion for culinary started when she was just six years old, cooking and baking with her mom and grandmother. After she got a taste of the cooking bug, she couldn’t stop– she took her first cooking class at age eight and it became very apparent that she had found her life-long passion.
After graduating high school, she decided to pursue cooking as a career, enrolling at Le Cordon Bleu. Before graduating, she was offered a position as a line cook at Nobu West Hollywood. While at Nobu, she realized she wanted to continue her culinary pursuits in a more intimate environment. This inspired her to start Pretty Spicy Catering & Events, her own catering company. LaShea continued on to excel in her courses and graduated at the top of her class.
Brandin LaShea isn’t your average, classically-trained chef. She has taken her Le Cordon Bleu background and mixed it with one of the hottest new culinary trends– cannabis. LaShea is the new host of the hip digital show, Pot Pie, on the leading cannabis network, ALTRD.TV, which gives us a look at her charisma and zest both personally and professionally.
