Chef Jon Bonnell visits this week to talk all about food, how he developed his love for cooking, and how that led him to open his own restaurant.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Bonnell grew up hunting, fishing, and cooking with his parents and family. After graduating from Vanderbilt University in 1994, he taught science and math for two years before pursuing his love for cooking and enrolling in the New England Culinary Institute (NECI) in Montpelier, Vermont.
During his tenure at NECI, Bonnell completed a six-month culinary internship at Mr. B's Bistro in the historic New Orleans French Quarter. In 1997, he graduated from NECI and returned to Fort Worth where he honed his cooking skills at local, upscale restaurants.
