Guest chef, David Brandt realized his love for food at a young age. David's passion was not for simply eating, or even cooking, but understanding the relationship between people and their meals. David spent years working with and feeding the terminally ill, and he could truly understand the importance of our relationship with food. Often, family members, doctors, and even patients themselves would be in awe at their improved conditions as a result of eating healthier.

In 2012, Natural Catering Cuisine (NCD) by David was born. NCD has quickly gained popularity throughout the Hyde Park community and throughout the city. From Kenwood High School to The Chicago Urban League, David has used his culinary gifts to leave people with happy stomachs and healthy lives.
