From his bright and vibrant outfits to his off-the-cuff sayings, Jason, from Grayson, Kentucky, describes himself as the down-home chef. A school cafeteria cooking manager and caterer, Jason has been cooking his entire life, with his modern, elevated recipes not only tasting delicious, but also being budget friendly. A self-taught chef and baker who previously competed on and won Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship, Jason shows viewers you don’t have to be a professional chef to cook delicious food.

He's currently a judge on Best Baker in America and Worst Bakers in America.
