He has been featured in Carnegies Art of Food Exhibition, showcasing local culinary artists and restaurants, and has been reviewed in Cincinnati Magazine. Jonathan enjoys creating food with great flavor and texture and is looking forward to adding his unique culinary twist to the new Mick & Macks menu this fall.
