After training at the Culinary Institute of America, he worked in Michelin Three Star kitchens and explored Chinese cuisine in San Francisco. He refined his craft in San Diego and Portland, later joining Addison before launching 24 Suns Pop Up in 2021. The project blends his diverse culinary background with a focus on San Diego and Chinese flavors, while supporting his local community.
Chef Jacob Jordan, from San Clemente, found his love for cooking early on. He began his career at Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, focusing on Italian cuisine, pasta, and bread. In San Diego, he joined Michelin-starred Addison, leading the bread program and refining his French skills.
