Jordan Hill Farm has long been a jewel in the Madison County, KY, community. As the area’s premier destination for vacations and private events, the full-service catering venue offers picturesque views, expert event planning, and now a brand-new executive chef. Jordan Hill Farm is proud to welcome Chef Tim Engle to their team, and reviewers and foodies are excited about how the young culinary powerhouse plans on innovating the local catering scene.
Born and raised in Southeastern Kentucky, Chef Engle developed a love of food at a young age. Long before farm-to-table eating was a widespread concept, Chef Engle enjoyed the benefits of local agriculture. His grandparents grew a wide variety of seasonal vegetables, and his memories of picking, washing, and preparing the bounty of their harvest still influences his culinary style today. After attending Sullivan University’s Culinary Arts program, Chef Engle decided to embark on his lifelong dream of becoming a skilled chef. For over a decade he worked his way from line cook to executive chef. Along the road, he learned the importance of making breads and sauces in-house, and he further developed his passion for bright flavors and fresh foods.
As his proficiency in the kitchen expanded, Chef Engle began to develop a unique culinary point of view, which he describes as a blend of American Southern cooking and Classic French cuisine. Throughout his decade of experience in the culinary arts, Chef Engle has dazzled the taste buds of many celebrities, including Kevin Costner, Richard Dreyfuss, William Shatner, and John Calipari. His honest food approach to haute cuisine is refreshing and innovative, and it’s no wonder the Madison County food community is looking forward to what he’ll be dishing out at Jordan Hill Farm.
