About Me:

Meet Jordan Banks

Being a culinary student is expensive and time-consuming. I had to learn how to cook for myself using only what I had in my cupboard and only the 15 minutes I had between classes. That's how my "Budget Speed" style was born. You don't need a massive budget or a free afternoon to eat something that tastes amazing.

My Culinary Philosophy

My Background & Expertise

While I'm finishing my formal culinary training, my heart is in "street-style" home cooking. I love taking complex flavors and simplifying them for the everyday person who just wants to eat something good, right now.
