Kicking off the Petite Bouche Chef of The Month for 2019 is chef James Metcalfe. James is the Managing Director of JRM Hospitality and owner of Sydney's newest all-day restaurant and wine bar Saint George, Sydney.
His career has spanned over 25 years working in both hatted and Michelin star restaurants across Sydney and London. JRM officially began in 2009 when James spotted a gap in the market for highly trained staff in the hospitality sector for venues and events.
