About Us
“Jeff is amazing. We could not have done Sundance without him. He cooked for 20-40 people for a week and a half. He consistently produced great food, had an upbeat attitude and came in on or under budget. I couldn’t ask for more in a chef. We’ll definitely hire him again!”

Meet Executive Chef Jeff Heavey:
Chef Jeff Heavey has been refining his palette since 1993 when he trained as a winemakers assistant in Woodside, CA and was introduced to the world of fine dining and gourmet cuisine. In 2002 he began his culinary career as a high end menu consultant in Boston, MA and was soon working with the likes of Michael Ginor of Hudson Valley Foie Gras. Jeff was awarded his CCP certification in 2004 and became a graduate of the Cambridge school of culinary arts. He then trained with chef David Bull at Texas’s number one rated restaurant located in Austin. Soon after he trained under Jeffrey Strauss and Jim Phillips of the Pamplemoose Grille in San Diego, CA. Jeff managed catering services for Terra in San Diego at which point he was awarded the Chef Celebration of SD scholarship which allowed him to study the culinary arts under top executive chefs internationally. He studied in Perugia, Umbria; Florence, Italy and at Noma, the highest regarded restaurant in Denmark. The knowledge and processes gained through these experiences is communicated in the quality and consistency at each Convivial Catering event.
