Originating in Jamaica, Chef Donovan has been working hard in the kitchen since he was 16. He started as a dishwasher then was mentored by a chef who inspired him to attend culinary school. For over 20 years, Chef Donovan has been living and working in the United States and believes that Salt Lake City is a great place to raise his children and operate his business.
Chef Donovan realized another part of his dream when he began operating Utah's first Jamaican Food Truck and Catering in the Summer of 2017. Chef Donovan's dream also includes owning his own restaurant.
You can find Jamaica's Kitchen at local markets and festivals including: Downtown Farmer’s Market, Made in Utah Festival, Reggae Rise Up, Special Olympics Fundraiser, Twilight Concert Series, Utah Beer Festival, Utah Pride Festival, Utah State Fair and the Wasatch International Food Festival.
