MEET CHEF ASHLEY CLAY

Welcome

Celebrity Chef Ashley Clay is a world-class hospitality company based in Atlanta, Georgia with a core focus on excellence in cuisine, event management and production, and hospitality

 

Chef Ashley was raised in Atlanta Georgia, where she was exposed to a style of cooking that fused her unique Southern upbringing and traditional American influences to create several flavorful masterpieces.

 

Ashley gave Atlanta residents a taste of her culinary delights before the age of twenty-one. Her creative cooking skills were put to the test during one of many visits to her mother's job at TNT/TBS Network to drop off a plate. "Charles Barkley came and tasted a plate and asked who cooked this?" she recalls. "He then asked me to cater the TNT Half Time show and that contract ran for two years." It was not long before her delightful dishes were being personally requested by ex-basketball champion Magic Johnson, the Steelers and several Falcon players, thus giving birth to her professional career.
