Chef James Averyâs culinary journey began at a young age, delivering pizzas at a local pizzeria on the Jersey Shore. His passion for hospitality took root while working in a variety of restaurant roles during his college years in Florida. He later pursued formal culinary training at The Art Institute of Ft.

His work with Ramsay led to multiple seasons as the on-camera sous chef on FOXâs hit series Hellâs Kitchen, along with appearances on Kitchen Nightmares and 24 Hours to Hell and Back.
Beyond television, James has owned and operated several acclaimed restaurants, most notably The Bonney Read and The Black Swan in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
