SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shef, the nation's leading chef-to-consumer marketplace that enables anyone, anywhere to start a food business, announced an exclusive partnership with Andrew Rea, chef and personality behind the popular cooking show, Binging with Babish.

Inspired by the drool worthy and outlandish meals we see on TV shows, movies and even video games, the Babish Culinary Universe brings the food we see on our screens to life. Andrew shows how to make both the basics and the unconventional meals that seem impossible. Mixing up education and experimentation in the kitchen with his love for film, television, and everything pop culture, Andrew whips up meals that bring out the curiosity of technical chefs, entertainment junkies, and everyone in between. In addition to his YouTube channel with over 10 million subscribers, Andrew is a New York Times bestselling cookbook author, Streamy Award winner, and Streamy Social Good Award winner.
"I love what Shef is doing to empower aspiring food entrepreneurs across the country," said Andrew Rea of Binging with Babish. "It's an honor to partner with this special community and give Babish fans a chance to try one of my creations for the first time."
Shef has helped thousands of talented local chefs - 85% of whom are women, and 80% people of color - turn their culinary talents into a business for the first time. Many "shefs" are immigrants or refugees, representing nearly 100 countries around the world and earning tens of millions of dollars of net income to support themselves and their families. Over the past four years, Shef has grown to serve more than 70 million people and recently announced plans to expand nationwide this year.
"Through Binging with Babish, Andrew has inspired and educated millions on both the basics and endless possibilities of cooking, as well as the unique and powerful stories generational recipes can tell," said Shef co-founder Alvin Salehi. "We're thrilled to welcome him and the whole Babish Culinary Universe to the Shef community."
