Perhaps you think the only ingredients that belong in an egg roll are cabbage and roasted pork. Chris Brown, founder of World Famous—with three locations and five food trucks—would argue otherwise.
Take his award-winning Italian egg roll, stuffed with Italian sausage, peppers, onions, and alfredo pasta. Or the Cubano egg roll, which boasts mojo pork, black beans, plantains, onions, and cheese, and was a 2018 People’s Choice Award winner at Miami’s annual Croquetta Palooza. And while we can’t pick favorites, we’d place the Soul Food egg roll—filled with barbecue chicken, collard greens, and mac and cheese—as best-of-show in any culinary throwdown.
“I take signature dishes from different cultures and I perfect them,” Brown says. “I could win awards with the dish alone. But then when you wrap it in a crispy wonton and fry it, it just takes it to a new level.”
A Miami native, Brown was born into the foodie life. After his father passed away, Brown’s Korean immigrant mother juggled running three restaurants while raising her children. “My mom just put on her work boots,” Brown says. “She had the gift of cooking—the art and the science of it. She’s the one who taught me.”
Since launching World Famous in 2014, Brown’s food has caught the attention of celebrities like Wyclef Jean and Rick Ross. But for Brown, it’s about more than fame and awards—it’s about storytelling, tradition, and making a difference one delicious bite at a time.
