UPDATE (October 2026): This episode was originally recorded with then-Executive Chef Jordan Keen. Jordan has since moved on from Beach Shop & Grill, and Jim Foss is now the Executive Chef. The episode remains available as part of the Topsail Insider archives and offers a look at Beach Shop & Grill at the time of the original recording.

Discover the inspiration that fuels the talented Chef Jordan Keen's creative menu at the fine dining establishment, Beach Shop and Grill in Topsail Beach, North Carolina!

He shares his personal history with us from his early childhood and teen years cooking for his siblings in Chicago to winning the Wright Chef competition in Oklahoma just before Covid hit.

I get the feeling the waters run deep with Chef Jordan Keen and this interview only scratches the surface. Enjoy!
