We’re thrilled to share a proud moment for Jeff’s Way as our talented young scholar, Chef Billie, recently completed a remarkable training experience under the guidance of Grand Chef Mario Perera and his dedicated team at The Dorchester. Chef Mario’s mentorship and the warm welcome from the entire team have given Chef Billie invaluable insights into the world of fine dining, enhancing her culinary skills and confidence as she steps into her professional journey.
