Her Story
Adrianna M. Colon—Chef Adrii—is a proud Guyanese and Puerto Rican woman from Spanish Harlem who turned her passion for food into a culinary brand built on creativity, culture, and ambition.
Before Adrii’s Kitchen, Adrii spent a year searching for her passion. She always knew she loved to cook, but it was the energy, creativity, fast pace, and people behind the food that truly drew her in. After working for a food company and seeing caterers in action, she knew she had found her calling.
She took recipes passed down through her family, added her own creativity, and found inspiration through friends, her own kitchen experiments, food experiences,
and shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
From there, Adrii turned her vision into a business. She researched the industry, earned her licenses, pursued grants, sought mentorship, and built a strong network of people who supported her along the way. In doing so, she became the first entrepreneur in her family and created opportunities for people she loves to be part of her journey.
Today, Chef Adrii has expanded her culinary work beyond catering into private chef experiences, bringing her signature style and hospitality to intimate dinners, celebrations, corporate experiences, and major events.
Her career has opened doors to opportunities with organizations and events including the WNBPA, NYCFC, NYC Wine & Food Festival, South Beach Wine & Food Festival, New Orleans Wine & Food Festival, Walmart, Barclays Center, the WNBA, and many more.
She is also a NYC & NYS M/WBE-certified business, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey-certified business, and NYC Department of Education vendor, continuing to expand her reach while staying rooted in the food, culture, and community that inspired her.
For Chef Adrii, food is more than what goes on the plate.
It is creativity, connection, culture, and an opportunity to create something people remember.
She built the vision.
She created the experience.
