Sous Chef Billy Jenkin | August 17
We’re excited to feature Sous Chef Billy Jenkin in our Chef’s Table series—an intimate culinary experience celebrating the passion and personality behind the plates at Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa.
Billy’s journey to the kitchen began with a simple joy: making food that makes people happy. While he always enjoyed cooking, it was the feeling of feeding others—and the pride that came with it—that truly sparked his calling. From there, he set out to not only cook—but to cook exceptionally well.
His culinary foundation was laid in culinary school, but his skills were forged in the kitchens of The Mansion on Turtle Creek and some of the most celebrated restaurants in Dallas, where he worked alongside world-class chefs who helped shape his style and sharpen his technique. He also spent time catering in Southern California, before ultimately bringing his talents to Omni Bedford Springs—where he has now spent the better part of eight years contributing to the resort’s evolving food story.
Billy’s cooking style is defined by three words: gracious, authentic, and appreciative. Influenced heavily by Italian cuisine, he’s drawn to its honesty—how a few simple ingredients, when treated with care, can become something extraordinary. His current signature? A deeply rich mushroom consommé, a dish that reflects the patience, precision, and heart he puts into everything he serves.
Guests at Chef Billy’s table can expect inspired courses, perfectly paired wines, and an atmosphere that’s as relaxed and fun as it is refined. His goal is to create an evening that feels both memorable and meaningful—for your palate, and your spirit.
When asked for the best advice he’s ever received, Billy keeps it simple: “Have fun. If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable night with Sous Chef Billy Jenkin—where great food, great wine, and great stories come together.
