"Where Emotions & Food Collide"
by Jason Jernigan

Meet Chef Jason
Born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, I spent my childhood between the shores of Virginia Beach and the quiet stretches of the Outer Banks. What I didn’t realize at the time was how deeply the flavors of the South were shaping me—quietly laying the foundation for what would eventually become my life’s work.
After serving in the U.S. Air Force in Clinical Laboratory Science, I took a leap of faith and shifted paths completely. I moved to Boston, traded my uniform for a chef’s coat, and followed my passion into the kitchen.
My work has always been about more than just food—it’s about people. Food has always been my medicine. I live for the stories that unfold around the table—stories about family, identity, and the places that made us. Because flavor isn’t just taste—it’s memory. It’s emotion. And when those elements come together, something powerful happens.
That’s what I aim to create in every experience: a connection. A celebration. A moment that lingers long after the last bite.
Today, through my business Chef Style Boston, I craft private dining experiences that are immersive, intentional, and deeply personal. I was honored to be named Best of Boston 2024, but what matters most to me is creating meals that tell a story—your story.
