BEARD HOUSE FELLOWS PRESENTED BY CAPITAL ONE: BEARD BOX BY KENCITO VERNON

In May 2021, we launched the Beard House Fellows program presented by Capital One, which re-envisions the potential of this historic space into a hub of training and professional development for talented emerging chefs. Each Fellow will have a one-month residence at the Beard House where JBF will provide hard skills training along with the opportunity to develop a meal kit in collaboration with Great Performances that will be available across the country.

Instead of playing outside as a kid, Kencito often found himself in the kitchen cooking alongside his mother. Noticing his passion, his mother enrolled him in different cooking programs for kids, and as a high schooler, Kencito attended Food and Finance High School in New York, where he graduated as the top culinary student in school. During high school, he received scholarships from Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) and ProStart Program, and he won the title of America’s Best High School Chef. While attending Monroe College on full scholarship, Kencito joined the American Culinary Federation. Through the culinary society, he has continued to compete throughout the East Coast. Currently, Kencito provides consulting services, works as a private chef in Greenwich, and also teaches financial literacy.
