Summer time means backyard BBQs and parties on the patio! Chef Robl Ali knows all about good times and good food. The 29-year-old New Yorker has served big names like Michael Jackson, Vanessa Williams and President Obama. He got his start in a professional kitchen at age 15 and honed his skills at the Culinary Institute of America. After climbing the ranks of the restaurant world, he started his own catering business 'Chef Robl & Co.' He's gotten some strange requests from clients: a live monkey at dinner, a medieval feast with trolls running around, and even a wedding for Chihuahuas.
Chef Robl Ali's catering adventures are the focus of his reality TV show on Bravo, titled Chef Robl & Co. The second season started this week.
The chef joined guest host Celeste Headlee to talk about his cooking, catering, and staying skinny.
