Chef in Residence Program
BasBlue’s Chef-in-Residence Program partners with women and non-binary chefs in Detroit to focus on supporting creative culinary experimentation, micro-grant opportunities, marketing development, and guidance to rising chefs as they define their pathways to success.
Since we opened our doors in 2021, BasBlue has helped over 700 women and non-binary individuals each year overcome gender-based inequities, find support, develop professionally, and find a place to belong–and our future is bright.
In 2025, we’re designing experiences that amplify women and non-binary leaders’ potential, and we can’t do it without your help.
