About
Jeremy Fox is the award-winning chef/owner behind the nostalgic, Eastern European-inspired Birdie G’s and the Michelin-starred Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica, California. He’s also the author of On Vegetables, a James Beard finalist cookbook, which features 150 recipes that elevate vegetarian cooking and showcase his “seed-to-stalk” philosophy. Jeremy is constantly inspired by local farmers, fishers and ranchers, and his menus truly embrace hyper-seasonality, simplicity and a zero-waste approach. Additionally, he’s a champion for mental wellness, and implements new business practices designed to benefit his team’s health.
Before joining the Rustic Canyon Family in 2013, Jeremy reimagined vegetarian cuisine at Napa’s Ubuntu, earning them a Michelin star, and honed his craft and culinary outlook as chef de cuisine at David Kinch’s lauded Manresa in Los Gatos. He’s garnered seven James Beard “Best Chef” (West & California) finalist nominations, was named a 2008 Food & Wine “Best New Chef,” and Rustic Canyon and Birdie G’s have regularly topped Los Angeles Times’ “101 Best Restaurants List.”
