This may sound a little cheesy — but butter-basting a steak is my therapy, and I’ll never get it wrong.
For Chef Jacob Rhodes, there’s no greater joy than transforming simple, honest ingredients into unforgettable meals. A rising star in the culinary world, Jacob isn’t just a chef — he’s an artist of flavor, a storyteller through food, and a firm believer that food is love made visible.

Whether he’s commanding the line in a bustling restaurant or curating intimate farm-to-plate dining experiences for private guests, Jacob’s mission remains the same: to ignite happiness with every dish.

From the aromatic sizzle of garlic and onions to the silence that falls as a plate lands at the table — he lives for the moment when eyes widen, phones rise, and the first bite sparks a smile (and maybe even a moan). That’s the art. That’s the magic. That’s why he cooks.

Jacob’s signature dish — a perfectly butter-basted steak, rich, tender, and deeply satisfying — isn’t just food. It’s an experience. It’s his therapy, his pride, and a masterpiece of technique and passion.

Now, Jacob is competing in the 2025 Favorite Chef Competition, and your vote could turn his dream into a reality. With the $25,000 prize, he’ll expand his private chef services — bringing immersive, handcrafted culinary experiences to homes, retreats, and unique destinations where nature, community, and cuisine intersect.

Vote for Jacob — a chef who doesn’t cook for fame,

but for the magic that food creates in the hearts of others.
