Conclusion: When the Pandemic hit our successful Chef’s Garden Events and Catering Company nearly went under. We lost nearly 2 million dollars with cancellations of preplanned events. To keep our team of 30 intact we had to ‘re-invent’ our business. The combined need of connecting people, the love of food and cooking helped us to create the silver lining in our business and how is the Jen and Jamey Virtual Cooking Classes. This has taught us to fight for our business and think positively.
Jen & Jamey are the husband-and-wife team behind Chef's Garden Catering & Events and Jen & Jamey's Virtual Cooking Classes.
As a team they have coordinated, catered, and hosted some of Florida's most pre-eminent events with clients and attendees that range from former United States Presidents to International Dignitaries, Film stars and Professional athletes.
During the Pandemic, their business partnered up with non-profit Feeding Northeast Florida and provided the labor to cook donated food for homebound seniors.
While they love the pomp and circumstance of a big event, their passion is rooted in creating connections through a great meal. They share a love of multi-cultural cuisine and a belief that food should not only be at the heart of life's greatest celebrations, but that cooking great food should be a part of our regular life. In these busy times, they know the art of cooking and entertaining can get lost in the shuffle, so Jen & Jamey are on a mission to teach people that cooking great cuisine can be fun and approachable.
