Before Chef Jean-Paul made his way to New York to be the chef he is today, he sat around a dinner table with his family eating biscuits and mayhaw jelly in the heart of Louisiana. That’s where he learned the traditions of southern cooking and the ability a good meal has to bring people together. Married and in New York — Chef Jean-Paul is setting a new standard with these delicious recipes and his cuisine.

Growing up in the food focused city of Chicago, Chef Chris spent his formative years taking in the sights, tastes, and smells of a variety of cultures; as well as learning from his grandmother and father. In the heartland, he worked his way up the ranks — working every job imaginable inside a restaurant. Honing his skills over the years has landed him the title of executive chef where he’s bringing his years of experience and the passion he learned at a young age to these recipes.
