Celeb chef Nikki Steward mixes science and flavor to create cannabis comfort food.
“A lot of people don’t realize that when you're including plant medicine in food, using scientific calculations, that is alchemy,” says chef Nikki Steward. “[My business] is called ‘The High-End Affair,’ but it’s high-end alchemy as well.”
She had quite an entry point: Her very first cannabis dinner was for Snoop’s media company, Mary Jane, for 6-8 tapas-style courses for about 250 people. If you, like everyone else she’s told this story to, ask how the hell anyone gets a gig like that, let alone as their first foray into the cannabis space, she grins and says, “Ohio.” The Ohio State Buckeye stayed in Ohio partly because that’s where Chappelle lives.
“I don’t want to eat an entire meal where all you taste is one note, weed, weed, weed. There’s a lot of science that goes into what I’m doing. This is a different level of molecular gastronomy.” In both dishes and drinks, Chef Nikki infuses with bio-availability products, which bypass the liver straight to the bloodstream resulting in a faster onset. There are various CBD and THC ratios, maybe 1:1 or 3:1, some alcoholic cocktails with CBD simple syrups or bitters, and also straight mocktails. They also use a product called “Undo” – the tagline is “blaze the haze” – that can counteract the psychoactive effects and bring you back down within 15-30 minutes.
She says, “You'll never have the same thing twice at my events… except for one thing, which is what everyone asks for… mac and cheese,” with an all-knowing expression on her face. It’s the ultimate comfort food. “In the old days I did an infused mac and cheese, and I still do infused mac all the time, but now I’ve switched it to not infused, just as a tableside [dish] because people just want to power through it.
