Jeremy Fox

Coming Up

Training at Johnson & Wales University set the ground for a defining stretch at Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica, California (2013–2025), where Jeremy Fox worked as executive chef in one of the region’s most closely watched kitchens. That period established a working language built on restraint and intensity, with vegetables treated as central matter rather than support and flavor delivered with measured precision. Today, as partner and culinary director of Edna (since 2026), Jeremy Fox carries that approach into a new role without changing the underlying logic of the cooking.

Where They Are Now

Birdie G’s is described by Jeremy Fox as “a classic American restaurant seen through my lens.” The line is useful because it names the method: a familiar format, filtered through a specific point of view. Another statement goes further into process: “I put together a menu and an environment that’s kind of been living in my head forever.” The work builds from that private memory into public form. It extends beyond Santa Monica while keeping the same discipline in place: named kitchens, steady authorship, and vegetables used as a primary language rather than a garnish. In Fox’s hands, the menu reads as a set of deliberate ideas, each one carrying a clear personal stamp.

Signature

Jeremy's signature dishes include Beets & Berries with quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth & pistachio “soil, Miso-flavored matzoh ball soup, Steak Frites, and Relish Tray. Each one shows the same approach to contrast and control: earthy against bright, soft against crisp, built to feel deliberate without losing lift. The range also reflects a broad working vocabulary, with vegetables, comfort, and classic forms all handled under one disciplined hand.

In Their Words “I put together a menu and an environment that’s kind of been living in my head forever.” “It’s a classic American restaurant seen through my lens.”

Honors

In 2008, Food & Wine named Fox a Best New Chef for Ubuntu in California. In 2010, he received the StarChefs Napa-Sonoma Rising Stars Award. Set beside the long Rustic Canyon tenure, the awards mark two public points in a career built through restaurants, dishes, and a defined specialty. Taken together, they register a reputation formed through consistency, clear point of view, and the accumulation of carefully considered plates.
