Chef Callender Holdings
Chef Callender Holdings is a cultural hospitality and lifestyle company founded by Jamaican-American culinary visionary Christopher Callender. Built at the intersection of heritage, innovation, and impact, the company exists to tell stories through food, design, and experience—while building scalable, purpose-driven brands.
Rooted in family tradition and shaped by global influence, Chef Callender Holdings oversees a growing portfolio that includes Jerk Reserve™, Cheat Healthier™, Cook & Vybz™, and Seasonhood™—each brand honoring legacy while pushing culture forward. The company’s philosophy is simple: flavor is memory, and culture is currency.
What began in home kitchens and family gatherings has evolved into a modern platform for premium CPG products, media, wellness, and experiential hospitality. From plant-powered sauces and heritage spice blends to editorial storytelling, music-driven culinary experiences, and future brick-and-mortar concepts, Chef Callender Holdings is redefining how Caribbean-inspired culture lives in the world.
At its core, the company is guided by four pillars:
- Heritage – honoring ancestors, family recipes, and cultural roots
- Artistry – blending culinary craft with design, music, and storytelling
- Innovation – building modern, tech-forward brands with global reach
- Impact – reinvesting in community, education, and future creators
Chef Callender Holdings is more than a business group—it is a living archive of culture, built to last and designed to inspire generations.
