SOUTHEASTERN N.C. ââ After six years of working in the same kitchen, Charlie Blake traded in his apron and chef hat to be a stay-at-home dad.
In August he walked away from his well-paying position as corporate executive chef for Cambridge Village of Wilmington to care for his 7-month-old baby and help his 7-year-old daughter with her remote school work.
âIt’s definitely a lot of change: being a 60-hour-a-week chef to now being home with the kids,â Blake said, âdoing laundry and cleaning the toilet and being a teacher for first grade.â
