 At the core of Chef Lee in Your Home is its founder, Chef Lee Rosser, a chef whose work is as personal as its flawlessness. His business began as an in-home cooking experience and evolved naturally into a brick-and-mortar presence. Subsequently, it eventually moved into large-scale catering events and pop-up style services across Bloomington and Monroe County. Despite the growth, Chef Lee’s business hasn’t followed a traditional expansion model. There are no franchises, no replicas, and no shortcuts; his philosophy is simple: when he stops cooking, the business stops with him.
Before becoming a professional chef, Lee spent years as a professional wrestler, traveling across the country and submerging himself into different cultures, people, and cuisines. Those experiences continue to impact his cooking, in addition to his confidence, discipline, and ability to connect with his guests. His personal mantra: “it is what it is, until it isn’t” reflects both his resilience and authenticity. Furthermore, it represents his appearance of the present linked with the consistent push to improve. For Chef Lee, entrepreneurship means never fully turning off; there is always a detail to refine or another way to boost the experience.

 On Wednesday, January 14th, 2026, The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce held its January Business After Hours at Spring Mill Inn. See the photos from the event below!  The Three Blondes Floral Co. is a flower & gifts shop in downtown Bloomington ran by the 35-year-old entrepreneur, Kelsy Webber. The shop is filled with personal meaning, even sprouting from the name “Three Blondes,” coming from her three daughters (ages 10, 8, and 5). They didn’t only inspire the name, but the spirit of the business as well. What began as a passion and love for flowers has grown into a thriving business rooted with care, community, and authenticity.
Kelsy’s love for flowers began at a young age, as her great aunts owned a flower shop in Southern Indiana, and she grew up surrounded by her mother and grandmother’s gardens. Her passion for flowers comes from the unique places in people’s lives. From births and birthdays to anniversaries and passing of loved ones, flowers mark life’s most meaningful moments, and Kelsy loves her flowers being a part of those memories. Her leading mantra: “treat others how you want to be treated,” shapes everything from customer interactions to the atmosphere the shop has itself. In an era that is controlled by screens and little human interaction, Kelsy hopes to bring a little bit of analog, tangible, and human experience back into the retail world.
