VIP Chef: Chef David Jackman and Wildweed
Chef David Jackman — James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes finalist — is the visionary behind Cincinnati's Wildweed. Specializing in pastas and Midwestern cuisine, Wildweed was named one of the Best Restaurants in the US by The New York Times, Esquire Magazine and Bon Appetit.
With roots in kitchens across North America, Chef Jackman brings a refined and genre-defying approach to his handmade pastas and tasting menus, drawing on French techniques, New American ingredients, and a deep respect for time and place. Wildweed offers two distinct dining experiences — a lively à la carte menu and an intimate chef’s counter tasting — each designed to showcase Chef Jackman's passion for creativity and storytelling through food. Chef Jackman's leadership extends beyond the kitchen, fostering an equitable, growth-oriented environment for his team while championing local farms and producers, and sustainable practices.
