Career
In the 1980s, Bronx native, Marq Hayes hosted "Youth Supper Club," for friends in the neighborhood.[1] As a teen, he began his entrepreneurial drive cooking high-quality crack cocaine making a small fortune. While in prison, he turned an old bed frame into a la plancha and his cell into a restaurant.[1] When Hayes got out, he sold food from his apartment, word spread, and soon former New York Knicks player Alan Houston commissioned him as a contract chef.[1] By 2013, Ghetto Gastro was formed by Bronx collective founding members Jon Gray, Malcolm Livingston II, Marq Hayes, Lester Walker, and Daniel Levin.[2] Hayes was instrumental in Ghetto Gastro's early success. The original members became known for hosting edgy supper club dinners in lower Manhattan infusing food, culture, art, and music.[3] Chef Marq was hired by André|André Saraiva of lower eastside's Cafe Henri for his artistic food reinterpretations. 'I went from crack to croquettes' Hayes said at the job interview.[4] Hayes was the executive chef at Drive Change NYC, an organization devoted to young people returning from jail, where Hayes created a food curriculum through guidance and hard-earned insight.[3]
