HEAD COOK: Jolene Payne
COMPETITION: World Recipe Championship
As a child I loved cooking, my first job was working at the zoo bussing tables at 16. From then on I worked my way up, gaining experience at multiple jobs over the last 10 years and going to culinary school to finally become a chef. But my work isn't done yet, my dream is to one day open my own restaurant, and to prove to my family that I can make my dream into a reality.
