Chef Jeff Thornsberry is a chef and hospitality leader with experience in fine dining, high-volume operations, restaurant openings, private dining, and culinary development. Raised on a small horse farm outside Charleston, South Carolina, Jeff’s early connection to food began there, while the discipline of farm life helped shape his work ethic and leadership style.

After studying Culinary Arts and Hospitality Tourism at the Culinary Institute of Charleston, Jeff continued his culinary journey in Spain, where he developed a deep appreciation for regional cooking, local ingredients, and rustic, hands-on techniques. His style is rooted in lasting relationships, wood-fire cookery, and a strong respect for food that reflects its place.

Jeff has held leadership roles at the helm of kitchens for acclaimed chefs including Michelin-starred Chef Michael Mina and legendary Chef Wolfgang Puck. Recognized among the Top 50 in Tampa Bay and previously published as one of the best chefs in the South by Best Chefs America, Jeff continues to bring passion, discipline, and creativity to every kitchen he leads.
