Just after winning the 2015 James Beard rising star chef of the year award, Jessica Largey left her post as chef de cuisine at Los Gatos, CA's Manresa to become chef in residence at Intro Chicago. Now, Largey owns seasonal restaurant Simone in LA's Arts District. Largey is considered one of the most talented chefs under 30 or, for that matter, of any age. But it's no surprise she's gotten so much recognition so young, considering she fell in love with cooking at the age of 5 after a (truly) life-altering experience cooking scrambled eggs.
