Chef Laquinda Jordan

Laquinda Jordan is a passionate chef deeply rooted in her culinary heritage from French Guiana. Born on March 9, 1993, to Ms. JuneAnn Mayers and Randolph Gilkes, she grew up in a family that celebrated cooking, learning from her mother, who prepared meals for both intimate family settings and large gatherings. Helping her mother in the kitchen provided early exposure that laid the foundation for her love of cooking. For Laquinda, cooking was not just an interest or a hobby—it became her calling. In 2008, she moved to Guyana, where she completed high school and excelled in Food and Nutrition. She later returned to French Guiana to pursue higher education at a culinary school, turning her passion into expertise. For Laquinda, cooking is more than creating dishes—it’s an expression of love, culture, and cherished family traditions. While she adores Creole cuisines, her true passion lies in fine dining. Her four years at Bistro have given her the opportunity to thrive in that specialty, exploring creativity from technique to taste and presentation. Laquinda continues to push her boundaries and explore new heights in the world of fine dining.
