I’ve been a professional chef for 6 years now in the restaurant industry. I have worked with my grandmother for years being her assistant in her own cooking classes and catering business. I constantly look for ways to bring excitement to dishes or a full service. From visual or taste, I aim to create a new experience of traditional and untraditional meals.

For me, cooking is...

Creating dishes is an art. 10 people can cook one dish, all will be different in some way and that’s where I find the beauty in cooking.

I learned to cook at...

Throughout restaurants in Jacksonville. Working and learning from multiple Chefs that were willing to showcase their own knowledge with me.

A cooking secret...

Growing up on a farm and hunting taught me to understand each ingredients with passion. From understanding seasonal vegetables and cuts of meat.

I would highly recommend Chef Jace. It was wonderful food and a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect and plated beautifully and he was very attentive. And cleanup was excellent, in fact, you couldn't even tell we had had a dinner at our home. :)

we had a fun experience using take a chef for the first time! i think overall engagement with us could have been better , however the food /prep / clean up was great!

Chef Jace was amazing, he made the most delicious food. That was such a great experience we will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

This was our first experience with Take a Chef and we had such a wonderful experience. We hired our chef for brunch at our weekend rental house for our sons wedding. Everything was amazing. All of our guest enjoyed brunch without having to leave the house. This was our first experience but certainly not our last! Thank you so much Chef Jace.
