About Chef Epps
A graduate of Johnson & Wales University, Chef Epps-Long honed his craft under Certified Master Chef Richard Rosendale and developed a culinary style shaped by his Trinidadian heritage and a global upbringing in Guam, Japan, and the Philippines. He previously led Red Rooster Overtown to recognition in the Michelin Guide and a spot on Condé Nast Traveler’s “Top 12 Best New Restaurants in the World.” Known for his refined technique, bold flavor combinations, and expressive flair, his cooking continues to evolve with personal meaning and cultural depth.
