Chef Gary Jones gives us a sneak peek of his new French restaurant, Provencal. - IssuuChef Gary Jones is committed to culinary excellence. It has been the driving force behind a journey that started right here in Chico and boomeranged to Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and back. He has worked with and alongside four separate Michelin-Star Chefs, including Craig Hopson from Le Cirque in New York and Richard Chen from the Wynn in Las Vegas; helped open a number of notable restaurants including Gitane in San Francisco; regionally managed fine dining and steak house restaurants throughout Southern California; and cooked for a number of A-list celebrities including Elton John, Stevie Nicks, and Willie Nelson. It is fair to say the man lives for the kitchen—even the art on his arms is a constant reminder of the career path he’s chosen.

BACKGROUND

Born in California, Chef Gary Jones was raised in a family that loved cooking traditional and tasty food. When he was a child, his grandfather was the chef and owner of a restaurant, and he developed a passion for cooking by watching, helping, and learning alongside his uncle, father, & grandfather. Eventually deciding he needed more, he set his sights on Europe leading to three years in France, Italy, Spain & England, where he studied with numerous Michelin star chefs. Building upon his training and honing his craft, Chef Jones worked his way to helming both Carnevino and B & B Ristorante at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

In 2013, he joined Claude Street in San Francisco as the Chef at Gitane, as well as its sister restaurant Cafe Claude. Gitane and its eclectic concept afforded Jones a unique creative presentation on his creations, eventually leading to numerous rave reviews by Michael Bauer of the San Francisco Chronicle. Claude was an iconic location, serving classic French cuisine harkening back to the chef’s time in Europe, and allowing him to further refine his techniques.

6 different concepts, including a VIP lounge & a steakhouse with a dry-aged prime steak program as well as in-house butchers. Through the years Jones has also consulted for companies with restaurant concepts from steakhouses to authentic Italian cuisine including; Hilton, Noble House, BBCM, Cliffedge, the Abbey, & many more. He has also made his way through the Hollywood hills working with numerous A-list celebrities including Elton John, Stevie Nicks & Willie Nelson.
