Jerry Regester, Chef

Jerry's interest with the culinary world started while watching and helping his mother in her small and popular Diner.

 Working his way through culinary school, he graduated from The New England Culinary Institute. After a year in Washington DC under the famed Chef Jeff Buben, he accepted a job at the prestigious Domaine Chandon in Napa Valley.

Working here he has forged many relationships with Chef - Mentors - Cal Stamenov ( Bernardus, Carmel Valley ) and Phillip Jeanty ( Bistro Jeanty, Napa Valley )

Current

Chef Jerry has worked at amazing places, Pacific's Edge at Highlands Inn, the Lodge at Pebble Beach, Wente Vineyards, and the Monterey Plaza Hotel.

Jerry's life dream was to own and operate his restaurant where he could create and execute his menu daily, as well as building his own wine program. You will find Chef Jerry hands on every night at the Spotted Duck, creating and capturing the essence of the changing seasons. Spotted Duck is a small restaurant with big flavor, a bistro style menu, a French perspective and American creativity, "Duck is the new Chicken".

Chef's Jerry's dream has come true.
