Donald Tiller Biography

When Donald Tiller was 11 his mother became disabled and he began helping with cooking meals for her and his three siblings. Back then Tiller who grew up in West Pullman made the standard fare of bacon and eggs grilled cheese sandwiches and cornbread. The focus wasn't on being health-conscious but surviving.
At 19 he was involved in a city program that connected teens with business owners for apprenticeships. He got a job at a South Shore health food store A Natural Harvest where he cleaned but later learned to make salads and vegetarian burgers. He was supposed to work there for 12 weeks but he wound up staying two years.
(The owner) Cheryl Simms saw something in me Tiller said. I had a weight problem and when I worked for her I was surprised she kept me because I wasn't a good reflection on her business.
Simms who died last year took Tiller to a 1985 deli convention in Rosemont. He said he was blown away by the many varieties of food and how professional the chefs looked in their white coats. He decided to go to culinary school and Simms helped him enroll at Kendall College and stay afloat.
