Meet Chef Jas

I am Chef Jasmyn DeShazo, the heart behind TASTE E.S.T., proudly rooted in Trussville, Alabama. My love for food was first shaped in the kitchens of my grandmothers and parents, where I learned that cooking is more than preparing a meal—it’s love, comfort, and a way to bring people together.

My flavor is inspired by every place that has poured into me, from my Southern roots to the people, places, and experiences that have expanded my taste along the way. My food carries pieces of every flavor that ever made me happy.

Cooking has always been peace for me. It grounds me, comforts me, and gives my soul joy when others truly enjoy what I create. I pour heart into every dish, because I know food has the power to heal, connect, and create memories that last.

Chef Jas creates elevated comfort food rooted in memory, soul, and flavors that can only be experienced at her table. My goal is for every guest to leave feeling cared for, inspired, and touched by a TASTE they’ll never forget.
