Executive Chef Kerry Heffernan brings 20 years of culinary excellence, experience and leadership to the kitchen of 154 South Gate at Jumeirah Essex House.

This welcome addition to the Central Park South dining landscape will feature the outstanding seasonal American fare for which he has become known.

Over the course of his career, Kerry has remained active outside the kitchen with

numerous volunteer services, such as cooking for Share Our Strength, Project by Project, City Meals on Wheels, Kids for Kids and both the Central Park and Madison Square Park Conservancies.

An avid saltwater fly fisherman and snowboarder, Kerry is thrilled to find a new home on Central Park South. He will look to the park to serve as both seasonal inspiration and the ideal backdrop for his graceful cuisine.

Chef Kerry Heffernan and his team look forward to welcoming you.
