Chef Jackie McMahan is a culinary professional. At the age of seven years old she first discovered her love for food and entertaining. By organizing holiday parties every year, it gave her an early opportunity to harness her creative edge. This tradition of managing dinner parties and events was something she would continue to perfect. Wanting to learn all she could about food, techniques, and the business, Chef Jackie graduated with highest honors at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute. Right out of Culinary school Chef Jackie met ex NFL player Gerome Sapp and was Executive Chef for a healthy meal prep company called Health Binge. There she created 74 healthy meals that incorporated the GBOMBS diet. Knowing that entertaining and catering were her true passion she started her own catering company called LA VIE Catering and Events and served clients such as Lil Jon, Andrew Drummond, DJ Carnage, Dior, and Dolce and Gabbana.
