How Much Is Summer Homayed Net Worth?
Summer Homayed flaunted a net worth of under $450 thousand.
A trainer chef, Summer’s culinary journey began with a blend of American and Lebanese traditions in Dearborn Heights. Growing up in a large family, she relished celebrations featuring both turkey and traditional Lebanese dishes. The cherished Lebanese tradition of serving lamb with rice, known as Kharouf, captivated her with its two-day process of marinating and roasting to perfection.
Watching her father, who owned the Arabian Village Bakery, she learned the art of cooking. After some time away from the food scene — pursuing a career in education and earning an associate’s degree in childhood education — Summer returned to the kitchen and launched her home-cooked meal business on Instagram, crafting diverse menus with cultural fusions.
Now, she caters to friends and neighbors, crafting a diverse menu each week with a delightful blend of cultural influences, just like the family gatherings where American and Lebanese traditions intersected. Whether it’s chicken fettuccine alfredo or Kusa (stuffed squash), the heart of her meals lies in the love and care she puts into crafting each dish from scratch.
Besides cooking, Summer also worked as a Gymnast Instructor at Dearborn Civic Center for eight years.
