Beyond Taste

To my family, friends, customers, and supporters,

First, I want to thank everyone for the prayers, phone calls, messages, visits, and well wishes. The love and support my family and I have received during this difficult time have meant more than words can express.

As many of you know, I recently experienced a serious medical event that has left me with weakness on my right side. My doctors have recommended that I enter rehabilitation so I can focus on my recovery and regain my strength.

Because of my health condition and the uncertainty surrounding my recovery timeline, I have made the difficult decision to close Beyond Taste for the foreseeable future. This is not a decision I ever wanted to make, and it breaks my heart. Beyond Taste has been more than a business to me—it has been a dream, a passion, and a way to serve my community.

Right now, however, my health must come first. Before I can continue building my dream, I need to focus on healing and giving myself the best opportunity to recover.

I am asking for your continued prayers for myself and my family as we navigate this next chapter. I am trusting God through this process and taking things one day at a time.

This experience has reminded me that while dreams are important, our health and the people we love are even more important. Please take care of yourselves, listen to your bodies, and never miss an opportunity to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.

Thank you for supporting Beyond Taste and for supporting me. I am forever grateful for each and every one of you.

With love and gratitude,

Chonese Pembrook ❤️

Beyond Taste is looking to expand, and I’m seeking the right person to partner with inside the kitchen space.

I’m looking for someone interested in operating a breakfast/lunch concept from 8 AM – 4 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday while I continue operating the lunch/dinner side on the other days and evenings.

This would be a great opportunity for someone who already has experience running their own food business — especially someone currently selling plates from home, catering, meal prepping, or building a food brand but needing a brick-and-mortar location to help take their business to the next level.

I’m looking for someone who:
• Has experience cooking and handling customers
• Is serious, motivated, and dependable
• Understands food safety and business operations
• Wants to grow their own brand while working in an established location

This could be a great stepping stone for the right person looking to expand without the full cost of opening a storefront alone.

Serious inquiries only.
Please DM me privately to discuss details and scheduling.
