Chef John Iredale

I graduated Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, CA. I graduated with honors and earned an Associates in Culinary Arts. During my time in school I worked in a variety of settings, including: Wolfgang Puck's catering company in Hollywood, Melise, and a small restaurant with my chef instructor Hot Stuff Cafe. After leaving school, I worked at The Inn at Little Washington. I took a break from professional kitchen to walk in my family's footsteps and joined the Army as an Infantryman. A few years later I had the opportunity to attend West Point and graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor Science in Business Administration focus in Systems Engineering. I was a Army Logistics Officer for 5 years and recently left the military May 2024. I now work at Google in the Atlanta office as a Global Category Manager for Data Center Electrical Equipment. Even though I have not worked in a professional kitchen for some time, I picked up the persona "The Butter Bar" and continue to hone my skills. I create cooking videos, write recipes, and share my joy with others. I get the most joy out of cooking and hope to manage my own restaurant group someday. I can't wait to share my passion with you all!
