My name is Jalen Nwachukwu, but most people know me as Chef J. I’m a passionate chef with a deep love for both cooking and baking, and over the years I’ve built a versatile knowledge of different cuisines, global flavors, and signature cocktail creations.
I created Good Eats with Chef J to bring my passion to life—whether I’m serving as a private chef, catering major events, or touring as a celebrity chef. I take pride in blending comfort and creativity, paying attention to every detail, and delivering unforgettable culinary experiences for every client I serve.
