From Long Island to the Golden State: Chef Jason's Flavorful Journey
Chef Jason's love affair with food started early, right in the family kitchen on Long Island, NY. By the age of 12, he was already sizzling, chopping, and flipping his way into the culinary world. His journey, marked by a rapid ascent to executive chef status by 20, reads like a gastronomic adventure novel.
This food maestro didn't just cook his way across America – he reshaped the culinary landscape. After a stint at Yard House, where he led nationwide culinary training, Chef Jason dabbled in entrepreneurial ventures. He co-founded Chef'd, donned leadership hats at Cadence Kitchen and FreshRealm, and even showed off his chops on The Food Network's "Supermarket Stakeout."

He sees cooking as a magical act, one that weaves flavors and people into a tapestry of shared joy. His mission? To turn every meal at The Habit into a communal feast that delights and connects.
Jack Hinchliffe, the Chief Marketing Officer at The Habit, is all praises for Chef Jason's culinary vision. "He's the zest we needed to continue our tradition of culinary-led innovation. Jason's fresh perspective is just the recipe for our next chapter of feel-good California food."
