    Chef Sakari’s passion for food began in his youth, inspired by family meals and summer harvests. Starting as a McDonald's Grill Cook at 15, he pursued a culinary career with encouragement from a mentor, eventually earning a degree in culinary arts and honors like Student Chef of the Year. After working in top restaurants like Marea and Eleven Madison Park, he launched his own pop-up, Noble Promise, and later Noble Promise Studios during the pandemic. Following his father's passing, Chef Sakari refocused on family, health, and purpose, founding Smithwick Provisions in 2023 to create health-focused foods. His ultimate mission is to improve food choices for children, believing this investment in the future can drive meaningful change.
