Chef James Avery is Taking Over! | Fireside America Ep. 42

Chef James Avery worked his way from a pizza delivery boy to sous-chef, under the tutelage of iconic chefs including David Burke and Gordon Ramsay.

In 2010, James jumped on a TV opportunity to work on the culinary production team for Gordon Ramsay’s hit FOX television show “Kitchen Nightmares.”  CJA stayed on as a Consulting Chef for one of the show’s renovated New Jersey restaurants before making his way back to Michael Mina’s Sea Blue.

In 2011, James joined BR Guest Hospitality helping to open Dos Caminos and its three sister restaurants at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City. The following year, he returned to FOX television as the Blue Team Sous Chef on Gordon Ramsay’s culinary competition show “Hell’s Kitchen” for seasons 11-14.

In the summer of 2014 he became the Executive Chef of the Asbury Festhalle and Biergarten and Executive Chef/Partner at the Bonney Read. He opened a farm-to-table eatery Farmly Neighborhood, and eventually launched "The Black Swan" in Asbury Park, a European gastropub serving British/Irish fare, imported beers, wines, and craft cocktails.

James is a legit entrepreneur and all-around good guy, residing in Wall Township, N.J. with his wife, Diana and four young children. Enjoy!
