After two weeks of receiving nominations, we announced the top five finalists, and then gave you a week to vote for your favorite from the list. And now, with all of your picks counted, we’re ready to roll out the winner – Cheffrey Eats!
The Response
"It’s very rewarding and validating to know how much our hard work has paid off," said Chef Jeffrey Lemmerman, owner of Cheffrey Eats. "It means a lot to me, my staff, and my family. Of course, I couldn’t have made it this far without my incredible staff. A great chef once said, ‘A chef is only as good as his team.’"
The Details
A South Florida native, Lemmerman credits his mother for his cooking skills. He traveled around with Cheffrey Eats for about three years before permanently landing at Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton. "Over time, I did more and more events with them," he said. "Eventually, when they wanted something consistent, they asked if I would be their consistent food truck."
The Menu
Cheffrey Eats serves a wide range of menu items, including signature burgers, sandwiches, and snacks. "It’s all about the cross-utilization of ingredients on my menu," Lemmerman said. "When you have ingredients used on certain menu items, you want to make sure you can share those ingredients between other items."
The Winning Menu Items
- Mongolian pork tacos, topped with an apple pico de gallo
- Pesto Chicken Caprese, featuring cashew pesto, fresh mozzarella, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, and balsamic drizzle
- Van Dammewich, with gluten-free battered fried chicken, signature BOMB sauce, and homemade pickles
- Crunchwrap Cheffreme, a burger with a crispy shell, beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese
- Funfetti cheesecake in a jar, cooked sealed in the jar to lock in moisture
