As many locals know, Jay deems himself a food ambassador for South Louisiana, which is where his passion for food was discovered. Jay describes himself as a blogger, radio host, and a professional tailgater! He even states that his initial inspirations came from his tailgating experiences on LSU's campus! Since then, he has taken his charismatic personality and culinary skills to a whole new level with his blog, Bite and Booze.
Prior to becoming a finalist on Food Network Star, Jay had already cultivated an immense buzz around the South! He has won numerous cooking competitions and media awards, participated in cooking demos, and has been featured countless times by local news stations. Thus, with his already diverse experiences in the culinary realm, Jay is more than ready to extend himself to this nationwide competition!
