By blackdoctor.org

Award-winning Chicago chef, author and restauranteur Judson Todd Allen died of a suspected heart attack Saturday morning at age 36, according to his family.

A finalist on “The Next Food Network Star” television series and often personal chef for Steve Harvey, Allen also was a frequent contributor for BlackDoctor.org and personal friend of the BlackDoctor.org family. He was in the prime of his life as the culinary lead at the West Loop restaurant Taste 222, which issued a statement on twitter about his passing:

Chef Allen traveled the world in search of hidden culinary treasures and has studied at the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz in Paris. He was the self-proclaimed Architect of Flavor and the inventor of the Spice Diet. The diet is Chef Allen’s proven plan for using flavor to break addictions to unhealthy foods without feeling deprived.

Having struggled with being overweight for a significant part of his life, Chef Allen created the diet out of a need to get healthy and ended up losing over 160lbs. This weight loss served as inspiration for others to get healthy just by changing the foods they eat without losing the flavor.
