After graduating with dual degrees in business administration and sports management, Jordan decided to enroll in culinary school at the Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando. Following graduation from culinary school, Jordan’s ambition brought him to renown restaurants such as The French Laundry, where he apprenticed, Per Se, and Lincoln Ristorante in New York. With thought of raising a family and opening a restaurant in mind, Jordan and his wife moved back to her hometown of Seattle where he began working at Sitka and Spruce as sous chef. In 2013, Jordan was asked to open Bar Sajor as chef de cuisine and used this as an opportunity to learn as much as he could about opening a restaurant. Taking this knowledge and experience he had gained from Bar Sajor, Jordan officially opened the doors to his restaurant, Salare, in June of 2015. Salare takes influences from France, Italy, the American south, and the Caribbean and has become one of Seattle’s hottest restaurants. Currently, Chef Jordan was nominated for a James Beard Award and has been named one of Food &amp; Wine’s Best New Chef of 2016.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Academy 5 - Elias Cairo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Olympia Provisions Chef/Owner/Salumist Elias Cairo is a first generation Greek-American who learned the craft of charcuterie by watching his father, who cured meat at the family's home in Salt Lake City. These old world preparations and preservation techniques set the foundation for his lifelong fascination with meat. Elias started cooking at a young age in his father's restaurants, and at the age of 20 began a trade apprenticeship in Switzerland, where for over four years he was taught classic techniques of cooking, butchery, and charcuterie by renowned European chef Annegret Schlumpf. During that time, he also attended Berufsschule in Wattwil, Switzerland for formal culinary education. From Switzerland, Elias moved to Kos, Greece to apprentice in a hotel kitchen, developing menu items based on the daily harvest of local farmers and fishermen. Upon returning to the United States, Elias relocated to Portland, Oregon, lured by the city's growing reputation for nurturing culinary talent. Beginning as a line cook at the venerable restaurant Castagna, he worked his way up to the position of sous chef in less than a year, eventually earning the title of Executive Chef. In the summer of 2009, Elias left Castagna to open Olympia Provisions, Oregon's first USDA-certified meat curing facility, and two European-style deli and restaurants. At Olympia Provisions, Elias approaches the craft of charcuterie with purity and patience. The Olympia Provisions team butchers antibiotic-free Pacific Northwest pork, holding its cured meats in natural casings. Olympia Provisions was highlighted in the 2012 Saveur Top 100, and featured in national media outlets such as Bon Appétit, Oprah, Food &amp; Wine, TastingTable.com, Martha Stewart, Esquire, Yahoo! Food, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Food Republic, The Huffington Post, Details, Inc., Food 52, Eater, The New Yorker and The New York Times. Olympia Provisions is also a two-time Sofi Awards finalist and the recipient of eight Good Food Awards. When he's not curing meat and trying new foods, Elias spends much of his free time in the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest, fly fishing and rock climbing. His adventurous spirit has brought on many adventures both local and worldwide, and shows no signs of stopping.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chef Dominique Ansel is the Chef/Owner of the celebrated Dominique Ansel Bakery, which opened in New York City’s Soho neighborhood in November of 2011, and Dominique Ansel Kitchen, his new made-to-order bakery that launched in the West Village in April 2015. Chef Dominique opened his first shop outside of the U.S. in June 2015 with Dominique Ansel Bakery Japan in Tokyo’s Omotesando neighborhood, and then in July 2015, he launched U.P. (short for “Unlimited Possibilities”), his after-hours tasting table hidden within the 2nd floor of Dominique Ansel Kitchen. Perhaps what has most widely been reported is the Chef’s creation of the Cronut®, a croissant and doughnut hybrid that TIME magazine named one of the “Best Inventions of 2013.” In 2014, Chef Dominique was awarded the James Beard Award for “Outstanding Pastry Chef” in the nation, and in June 2015, he was bestowed the prestigious Ordre du Mérite Agricole award, one of the highest honors in France, for his dedicated to promotion French cuisine and culture.</image:caption>
