Today we’d like to introduce you to Zaden Reid.
Hi Zaden, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve always wanted to work, since I was young I’ve learned how to take care of myself. A great and more prominent example being cooking, something not only I was passionate about but also my old stepdad. He showed me the ins and outs, what I need to know, what spices can perfect a dish. I never had the drive to pursue cooking up until his passing, which led me to be more motivated, not only in just the cooking aspect but what I wanted to do with my career. Primos and those involved helped push me in the right direction. They gave me the stepping stones to a better career, life, and a sense of self. Every day here has given me the tools I need to both learn and grow, helping shape me into who I am today.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There have been rough obstacles in my life, my motivation being one of the more major ones. I was focusing my attention on the wrong things and crowd. Changing my mindset for the better was extremely difficult, I had a preconceived notion that I wasn’t deserving of a certain life. Developing a positive mindset was the biggest step for me, I knew that I had always wanted to grow and learn, all I needed was a different outlook on life.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m the head of kitchen at Primos BBQ. On a day to day basis I order the inventory for the store, work caterings, and optimize customer service and the food that’s being served here. Ensuring that every meal served here is up to par with not only our standards but the customers and their experience here is incredibly important to me.
What makes you happy?
Food makes me happy. Seeing someone completely satisfied and fulfilled by a meal makes my day. A lot of times we have people travel from the south, so we see lot’s of people from Texas and various areas like that so we’ve got big shoes to fill. Hearing these people that have authentic Texan barbecue compliment our business makes me full.
