PERSONALITY
Jeff has appeared on numerous television and podcasts (check out our media section), and been featured in innumerable press stories. A natural personality - a mix of natural eloquence, humility, and the-reluctant-celebrity-chef, his charisma and genuine love for the industry effortlessly shine through. Jeff was born and raised in regional NSW, a typical farm boy, and has an enduring love of the land, of produce painstakingly nurtured, and of the hardworking farmers, producers and providores that are often overlooked in the hospitality landscape. Humble, Jeff speaks earnestly, authentically and with unparalleled knowledge about all things food and dining.
About
Jeff the Chef
Jeff is the Renaissance man of hospitality. On the creative side, he is a highly respected Executive Chef, restaurateur, and engaging media personality, and on the commercial side he’s a successful business stalwart in one of the toughest industries there is.
Originally hailing from a small country town near the Riverina of NSW, Australia, his three decades of cooking began with his desire to work with the best. He’s run kitchens and owned restaurants across Brisbane, Sydney, London, Switzerland, and Manhattan. He’s consulted on and reinvigorated many of Sydney’s most innovative restaurants over the last two decades, including consulting on the open of Restaurant Hubert, menu implementation at Baxter’s Inn, and was Chef Patronof the highly acclaimed Beckett’s Glebe from open until November 2023.
While creatively charged, Jeff is also a commercial realist. Without a solid profit margin, there is no culinary creativity.
