About Us

For more than 30 years, Chef Michael Weinstein has been a respected figure in the Dallas culinary community. Throughout his career, he has worked in some of the area’s finest restaurants, private dining establishments, and consulting roles, earning a reputation for exceptional flavor, creativity, and uncompromising quality. His culinary expertise has also been featured on television, in magazines, newspapers, podcasts, and at food and hemp industry events.

Chef Michael’s passion for cooking began at an early age. Inspired by his grandmother’s home cooking and his father’s backyard garden, he quickly developed an appreciation for fresh ingredients and the connection between great food and overall well-being. That passion eventually led him to culinary school and a career dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences while continually exploring new ways to combine exceptional flavor with quality ingredients.

Today, Chef Michael is the founder of Rebel Chef, a premium Texas-based wellness company dedicated to producing chef-crafted hemp-derived products. Rebel Chef was built on a simple philosophy: wellness products should be made with the same care, attention to detail, and commitment to quality as great food.

Every Rebel Chef product is developed with carefully selected ingredients, emphasizing natural, clean-label, and organic ingredients whenever possible. Rather than following industry trends, Chef Michael focuses on creating products that deliver exceptional quality, consistency, and flavor while maintaining the highest manufacturing standards.

The Rebel Chef product line includes premium full-spectrum CBD tinctures, CBD topical oils, CBD caramels, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC caramels, intimacy serums, and pet wellness products, all proudly crafted in Texas using premium ingredients and rigorous quality standards.

Beyond product development, Chef Michael is committed to educating consumers about responsible hemp use and advocating for sensible regulations that protect public safety while preserving access to high-quality hemp-derived wellness products. He believes consumers deserve products that are honestly labeled, professionally manufactured, thoroughly tested, and created by companies that put quality first.

At Rebel Chef, every product reflects Chef Michael’s lifelong commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, innovation, and natural wellness. Whether you’re discovering hemp-derived wellness for the first time or are an experienced customer, our mission remains the same: to create premium hemp-derived wellness products you can trust—crafted by a chef, made with purpose, and proudly produced in Texas.
