CREATOR/COPYWRITER
Fieri’s Follicles was an absolutely absurd website which, like one of those name-a-star registries from the 90s, allowed people to unofficially name celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s bleach blonde hairs after their friends and send a certificate to commemorate it.
​
The site was featured on Eater, Vice, Thrillist, Bro Bible, The Daily Meal, and countless others. It was on radio shows and local news networks nationwide. Orders of Fieri’s Follicles certificates have come from Norway, Australia, Canada, London, and nearly every state in the US.

Breadcrumbs - Tours was an innovative app that offered chat-bot guided food tours through New York City. Users could immerse themselves in the city's culinary delights with curated tours, including Queens brewery excursions, East Village taco tastings, Chinatown dumpling adventures, and many more.
Chase researched and wrote chat-bot scripts for these unique food tours to ensure an unforgettable gastronomic journey for each and every user.
