🌟 Big news from Hambleton House! 🌟
Chef Jordan Lloyd has made it to the Top 5 in the national America’s Favorite Chef competition—a huge honor that shines a light on the incredible culinary talent and deep-rooted food culture here on the Delmarva Peninsula. Jordan’s cooking is inspired by family, community, and the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay—each dish a love letter to the land, water, and people who make this region so special.
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of dining with us, you know that Chef Jordan brings heart and precision to every plate. A native of the Eastern Shore, he’s a fierce advocate for local farms, watermen, and food artisans. His all-time favorite dish? A perfectly trussed roast chicken, soy-butter glazed and served with crisp French fries—simple, soulful, and rooted in craft. With nearly three decades of high-level culinary ex*****on and hospitality experience, a deep love for his family, and founder of the nonprofit Family Meal—which provides life and career coaching to people from all walks—Jordan is committed to giving back. If he wins, he plans to donate a large portion of the prize money to this cause.
You can cast one vote for free, or donate to vote multiple times, with all proceeds benefiting the James Beard Foundation and their mission to uplift the culinary world. Voting ends Thursday, May 8 at 7pm—let’s rally behind Chef Jordan and celebrate the flavors, traditions, and community spirit that make our corner of Maryland so extraordinary.
