Newark Chef Competes On Netflix Series
Chef Robbie Jester has appeared on several tv shows including Guy’s Grocery Games and Beat Bobby Flay. Now, you can catch him on Netflix’s “Pressure Cooker”.
The show premiered last week. Jester was the first to walk on set and (spoiler alert) the last to walk off.
He collected the grand prize of $100,000.
According to the Newark Post, Jester says “it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
Growing up in Galena, MD Jester’s parents owned several businesses. He has grown up in the world of hospitality and went on to attend the Culinary Institute of America.
He then returned to his family restaurant as Chef de Cuisine while also holding posts at the DuPont Country Club and Hotel du Pont.
Chef Robbie arrived at Toscana Kitchen and Bar (Dan Butler’s flagship restaurant) in 2008 as sous chef but quickly rose to Executive Chef.
During his tenure with Toscana, he oversaw the renovation of Toscana Kitchen and Bar to Piccolina Toscana and became chef of Toscana To Go and Toscana Catering.
Today, he runs Jest Events, a private chef and event company. He is also the owner of Pizzeria Mariana.
Jester’s talents have not gone unnoticed; he was one of a handful of chefs chosen for Maryland Governor O’Malley’s 2009, 2010 and 2011 Buy Local Challenges, and for Chefs by the Bay in 2010 and 2011.
Jester has also been featured in Delaware Today Magazine, Brandywine Signature Magazine, Out and About, and the News Journal as well as being voted one of the “Best Chefs of America” for the state of Delaware from 2012 thru 2014.
Chef Jester has also catered events for Vice President Biden and the King and Queen of Sweden.
