Career[edit]
In the 1980s, Bronx native, Hayes hosted "Youth Supper Club," for friends in the neighborhood.[1] As a teen, he began his entrepreneurial drive cooking high-quality crack cocaine making a small fortune. While in prison, he turned an old bed frame into a plancha and his cell into a restaurant.[1] When Hayes got out, he sold food from his apartment, word spread, and soon former New York Knicks player Allan Houston commissioned him as a contract chef.[1] By 2013, Ghetto Gastro was formed by Bronx collective founding members Jon Gray, Malcolm Livingston II, Marq Hayes, Lester Walker, and Daniel Levin.[2] Hayes was instrumental in Ghetto Gastro's early success. The original members became known for hosting edgy supper club dinners in lower Manhattan infusing food, culture, art, and music.[3] Hayes was hired by André Saraiva of lower eastside's Cafe Henri for his artistic food reinterpretations. "I went from crack to croquettes", Hayes said at the job interview.[4] Hayes was the executive chef at Drive Change NYC, an organization devoted to young people returning from jail, where Hayes created a food curriculum through guidance and hard-earned insight.[3] Hayes has spoken publicly about his healing process through food and education. While Executive Chef of Drive Change, Hayes did an interview with Heritage Radio Network stated food is therapy especially as a New Yorker and the environment he grew up in. [5] As Hayes's networks expanded, he made appearances on cooking shows such as Vice Media's program Munchies teaching how to make potato and parsnip hash.[6] Hayes took his career to the PNW with the mission to break social restraints of inequality he has experienced one bite at a time.[7] In a 2020 interview with Seattle's former Chief of Police, Norm Stamper, Hayes describes his intention to create opportunities for himself and others from his community by building a culinary arts center.[8] Hayes partnered with Black Restaurant Week for the season two premier of ABC's "For Life"[9] and is included in MOFAD's legacy quilt for his innovation[10] Dec 15, 2021, Creatd Studios press release announces its plans to create a joint venture with Chef Marquis Hayes.[11] Force Brands named Ghetto Gastro as one of the top five innovative black-owned food brands.[12] New York state board issued the Empire State’s first recreational marijuana sales, Marquis Hayes, among the group to be handed the keys to the state’s new legal cannabis system.[13] The CAURD (Conditional Adult Use Recreational Dispensary) licensees are people with cannabis convictions on their records or their families.[14] Marquis Hayes says he was in disbelief when awarded one of the first dispensary licenses, and he is excited to learn as he builds his business. "It's hard to believe you get the keys to do something that they reprimanded you for decades at a time and drilled into you that it was negative," said Hayes.[15] Keep It 100 LLC is one of seven regional retail licenses issued by the state slated for Long Island. Hayes's drug conviction made him an associate for those looking for a way into the New York recreational marijuana market. [16]
