About Janet Ebright CEC

Janet Ebright graduated with honors from La Maison Grenouille culinary school, previously located in Pacific Grove, California. Upon graduation, she worked in a variety of culinary settings including hotel work, privately owned restaurants, catering as well as a private sailing yacht. Three seasons on the yacht Wind-A-Way were spent sailing the seas of the West Indies, Bahamas, Virgin Islands and the eastern seaboard. Janet learned a great deal during this time about personal service as well as creative cuisine.

After disembarking from the Wind-A-Way, Janet accepted the position of Executive Chef at Turnberry Country Club in Lakewood, Illinois. This began a sixteen-year career in the private club sector including positions with Royal Melbourne Country Club in Long Grove, Illinois, Redlands Country Club in Redlands, California, and Indian Ridge Country Club in Palm Desert, California. During her time at Royal Melbourne Janet also served as an instructor at the Elgin culinary program. Along the way, she has kept abreast of industry trends through classes at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, trade journals, travel, and acquiring certification as an Executive Chef from the American Culinary Federation. The ACF certification is highly regarded in the industry as a benchmark for level of achievement.
