Meet Chef Paddy & Jackie

I’m Chef Paddy, a home cook obsessed with bold flavors, open flames, and cooking with intention. My kitchen isn’t about shortcuts—it’s about honoring the process, respecting the ingredients, and bringing out the best in every dish.

What started as a necessity quickly grew into a passion for all things cooking. Whether it’s slow-roasting pot roast, searing the perfect steak, or mastering the art of risotto, I’m here to share my knowledge, my wins, and even the recipes that took a few tries to perfect. Because let’s be real, great food is built, not born.

But no great meal is complete without the people who make it special. My wife Jackie has been my biggest supporter, my toughest critic, and the one who keeps me grounded when I start talking about just one more BBQ experiment. And then there’s Miss Shaggy P Flynn, our loyal Dachshund mix for over17 years, who was always there, waiting for a bite (or two). Her spirit lives on in every meal.

At Chef Paddy’s Kitchen, we believe great food isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about the craft, the passion, and the story behind every bite. From the slow smoke of a perfectly seasoned prime rib to the rich layers of a homemade lasagna, every dish has a purpose, and every technique has a place.

This isn’t a restaurant—it’s a movement. A space where home cooks, BBQ lovers, and flavor fanatics come together to master the craft and elevate their cooking game.
