For Jon Cholakian, cooking had long been his passion but two-and-a-half years ago when he took the plunge and made it a career.
He took a leap of faith, leaving his job as an outdoors educational instructor to turn his leisure activity into a full-time career. Without any formal training or experience - except owning a car and kitchen - he established his catering business.
By 2022, Cholakian - who is known to many as Gastronomy by Jon - has since grown acclaim as one of the most ‘sought-after chefs’ in the south west today. From snagging a Bristol-based restaurant residency to cooking for celebs, he aims to prove that anything is possible.
