Bill Sanders is a young chef based in New Jersey, who never initially set out to pursue a career in cooking. His journey began at the age of 13, when he started cooking at home out of necessity, as his hard-working single mother was often away. What started as a way to survive soon transformed into a passion as he spent years experimenting with flavors and ingredients. At 16, he landed his first job as a busboy at the now-defunct Pig & Prince, where he worked under the guidance of his mentor, Chef Michael Carrino. Since then, he’s been on a mission to master his craft.

The most pivotal moment in his culinary journey came when he joined the 7 Doors Down Ramen team, where the Asian and Japanese-inspired cuisine sparked a deeper connection to the culinary world, much like a tuna caught deep in the sea. From there, he went on to co-found Kinjo with Chef Jamie Knott before launching his own brand, Alma Matters Industries. Through this platform, he offers consultations, private chef services, and runs Alma Izakaya pop-up shops, which have become a staple in the local restaurant scene.
