MEET CHEF CHRISTAL JETT
LOCAL ROOTS
Born and raised in the Northern Neck, Chef Christal Jett has deep roots in the coastal Virginia community, with several generations of her family calling this area home. Between the kitchen at her great-aunt’s boarding house in White Stone and Grandfather Jett’s farm in Reedville, Chef Christal learned the true meaning of farm-to-table long before it became a trend.
QUALITY EXPERIENCE
A graduate of Johnson & Wales University, with over 30 years experience, Chef Christal has operated restaurants throughout the Northern Neck, including her well-loved Town Bistro, which was named the Best Bistro in Eastern Virginia by Virginia Living Magazine. She also spent five years on Oahu, Hawaii, serving as a private chef, where she further refined her skills and broadened her culinary perspective.
COASTAL COMFORT COOKING
Chef Christal's cooking style could best be described as coastal comfort, focusing on fresh, local ingredients that highlight the best of what the region has to offer. When she's not cooking, she enjoys traveling the world, exploring new cultures through their cuisine. Her most recent travels took her to Italy, Spain, Malta, South Africa, and Greece, with more adventures on the horizon.
