Chef Showcase: Chef Jason

Our chefs love what they do — cooking, teaching, and collaborating with our incredible team of hospitality professionals to make every experience at The Kitchen special. But this dinner is something entirely different.

For one night, we’re setting collaboration aside and letting each chef run wild. This is their moment to create the food that speaks to their soul — the dishes they dream about, the flavors that push them creatively, and the kind of cooking that reminds us all why food is an art form.

Come experience an inspired, multi-course evening where each plate tells a story — uniquely crafted, beautifully plated, and deeply personal.

Jason has been passionate about cooking for at least a decade now, with teaching becoming a more recent and unexpected joy. Some random facts about Jason include his move to Portland from the East Coast about two years ago, attending Johnson and Wales in Providence, RI for culinary education, holding an official rejection letter from the state of California in a humorous attempt to take his ferrets at the border, being mildly proficient at creating balloon animals and that his favorite food is Spicy Miso Ramen.
