Jantz was born in Okinawa, Japan, and attended culinary school in Kansas before working in the Netherlands, Antilles, Europe and New Orleans. Now he’s the executive chef for Trump International Beach Resort Miami. No small job working for Mr. “You’re Fired,” right? Not only is this guy responsible for all food and beverage operations at the resort, including lounges, room service and catering, but he’s somehow finds time to create themed dinners at Neomi’s, too. [We just got word that his Paradigm test kitchen, the spot that invited his incredibly innovative team to generate and present an entirely new set tasting menu to diners each week, is no longer around. Sigh.]
