Chef Showcase: Chef Jessica

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.

Jessica’s culinary school experience, teaching classes at Sur la Table, and working with sub-zero as a corporate chef taught her that teaching and helping people better understand and connect to their food was her deepest passion.

Middleground Farms embodies Jessica’s heart for community, fellowship, and good food. Her joy is bringing people closer to the source of their food and bringing people together around the table.

Jessica’s farm dream has blossomed into a beautiful reality that is ever-growing and changing. The farm is not just work; it is her joy. In Jessica’s words:

“I have quiet, I have chaos, I have nature, I have celebration, I have dogs, I have wine, friendship, family, and food. Middleground Farms has become all of my joys wrapped up in one place.”
