Meet Jordan, one of our line cooks! 👨🍳🔪
Originally from Owensboro, Kentucky, his love for cooking started with his grandma. He grew up spending time around her in the kitchen, wanting to learn whatever she was willing to teach him! Jordan has been with us for about 10 months now, splitting his time between the kitchens at Mita’s & Safi W**e Bar , where he is rarely without a smile on his face 😄
One of his favorite parts about working at Mita’s is getting to learn about different cultures, ingredients & techniques, while also building real friendships with the people he works alongside. Outside of work, he’s into fishing, gardening, vinyl records, hiking, camping, foraging, college football and, most recently, baking.
His ideal day off is pretty simple: get some chores done with music on, maybe stop by Findlay Market, then head home and cook a big dinner. At home, he keeps weeknight dinners pretty simple with pasta and roasted vegetables, but weekends usually mean grilling vegetables, steak or chicken thighs with Southern-style sides like mashed potatoes and green beans.
We’re excited to keep watching Jordan grow in the kitchen. Cheers to you & all your hard work! 💛
