Get to Know the Faces Behind the magic at the Oakley Diner!
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jimmy found his culinary calling when he made the move to Park City, Utah in 1999. There, he dove headfirst into the vibrant food scene, honing his skills at beloved local hotspots like River Horse on Main, Shabu, and Talisker Club.
With a keen focus on delivering exceptional dining experiences, he also served as a private chef for several years, delighting diners with his delectable creations.
Beyond the kitchen, you’ll likely find Jimmy out in nature, carving up the slopes, hitting the trails on his mountain bike, or navigating the thrilling rapids on a white-water rafting adventure. When he’s back home, there’s nothing he loves more than sharing his passion for cooking with his two beautiful kids, who are always eager to lend a hand in the kitchen.
With a heart as warm as his dishes and a dedication to the culinary arts that spans 25 years, Jimmy continues to infuse each bite with creativity and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Born in Peoria, Illinois, Jeff Stewart had a nomadic upbringing, moving nine times before graduating high school, which cultivated his appreciation for diverse cuisines. However, it was the summers spent in Arkansas with his grandmothers, Kaye and Sandra, that instilled in him a deep love for southern hospitality and cooking.
In 2014, Jeff began his journey in the food industry at Sundance Resort, starting as a cashier and swiftly ascending to Supervisor in the Deli & Concessions department. His dedication to promoting local products and fostering teamwork led to a cultural transformation within the department.
Transitioning to restaurant management, Jeff assumed the role of Assistant Manager for The Foundry Grill at Sundance Resort, where he excelled in creating innovative dining experiences and cultivating a vibrant atmosphere.
After a year of working with Chef Eric May at The Foundry Grill, the opportunity came up to explore a new venture, one that they could build together in the heart of Oakley, UT. Now, as Assistant Manager of the Oakley Diner, Jeff is committed to building on his proven track record of success, creating memorable experiences for guests and fostering strong ties within the local community.
