I’m Jarrett Stieber, my main occupation is a chef. Currently, I am the owner of restaurant Little Bear and the author of website Eat Me Speak Me

I started cooking in restaurants when I was fifteen years old after watching Yan Can Cook as a child and Emeril Live and Iron Chef in high school. Food started to fascinate me so I asked the owner of Alon’s in Morningside, where my dad and I would go for breakfast every Saturday, if I could shadow their chef one weekend and I just kept getting put back on the schedule every week… and never really looked back haha.

It was always either cooking or music for me but cooking was always a steady (albeit it crappy) paycheck so that became the main career trajectory. Ever since I started in restaurants in high school, I knew I loved cooking and could make a living doing it but finally settled in 100% over music a few years into running Eat Me Speak Me, my pop up restaurant before opening Little Bear, in 2020.

Little Bear survived the pandemic through successfully pivoting to take-out. Today, Little Bear is thriving in Atlanta. For the website Eat Me Speak Me. In 2023, I decided to turn it into a website that shares delicious recipes for all those who are passionate or interested in how to create a delicious meal.
