Tyra Lewis
Some professional relationships grow into something much deeper. Tyra Lewis has been my chef friend for more than 25 years, and during that time she has been a constant source of support, encouragement, and inspiration—both in and out of the kitchen.
Tyra is someone I have leaned on throughout my career, not only as a trusted colleague but as a true partner when it mattered most. I have called on her for private events and special occasions because I know, without question, that she brings excellence, precision, and heart to everything she does.
A celebrated pastry chef, accomplished business owner, and respected culinary instructor, Tyra’s talent is matched only by her generosity and professionalism. She represents the very best of our industry: craftsmanship, integrity, and a genuine commitment to sharing knowledge and lifting others up.
I am deeply grateful for her friendship, her unwavering support over the years, and the role she has played in my journey. It is an honor to call her not only a colleague, but a lifelong friend of Chef Bear.
