Meet Chef Jordan Halstead

Since 2021, our dedicated chef has been a cornerstone of Abraham Catering, where she began as an intern before quickly earning a full-time role thanks to her passion and skill. She holds a diploma in Culinary Arts and an Associate's Degree in Culinary and Occupational Studies from the prestigious Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.

With a strong background in management, customer service, inventory, and of course—food, she brings both heart and expertise to every dish. At home, she's a proud mom of three boys and shares her space with a Siamese cat named Rocco and a Betta fish named Bluey. When she’s not in the kitchen, she loves fishing and spending time outdoors.

Above all, she’s driven by a simple goal: to make people happy with food.
