I bring globally inspired, restaurant-level cooking to your table—tailored to your home, your guests, and your moment.

Jimi Porter

I create high-standard global cuisine that feels effortless for you and unforgettable for your guests.

I’ve travelled and worked across the world for over 20 years, honing my craft in amazing kitchens and now I’m based in Jacksonville with my young family. I cook at a very high standard across Japanese, Peruvian, South East Asian, and modern European cuisines, among others.

I’ve opened close to 30 restaurants and designed concepts internationally, and I bring that same level of precision and creativity into private dining. I’m humble, engaging, and I’m always happy to adapt to your occasion—whether you want something refined and minimal or bold and celebratory.

Plan your event with me

Cooking is my absolute everything.

I cook with global range, high standards, and a mindset that keeps the experience warm and personal.

I lead with passion

Cooking is my absolute everything, and I bring that energy into every menu—focused flavors, clean execution, and thoughtful details from start to finish.

I’m shaped by world-class kitchens

I learned by cooking in amazing restaurants all over the world, and I’ve carried those disciplines into private dining: consistency, timing, and dishes that feel special without feeling fussy.

I stay grounded in my craft

My kitchen rule is simple: be humble, because I also started at the bottom—so I show up with respect, adaptability, and a calm confidence that keeps your event running smoothly.

Jimi’s Menus

I offer curated menus inspired by my global experience—Mediterranean, South American, Japanese, Thai, and classic Low & Slow BBQ. I can adapt dishes to your preferences and the flow of your event while keeping the standard consistently high.
