Meet Chef Sedale Jones, a South Jersey native, who started cooking at the ripe age of seventeen. His first job was at Woodcrest Country Club in Cherry Hill NJ, where he maintained a cook position after years of being a caddy. Once he realized his talent, he attended The Academy of Culinary Arts in Mays Landing NJ. After finishing culinary school he worked his way up through the ranks at numerous high end restaurants in New Jersey, including Café Madison, Filomena’s Lakeview, and That’s Amore. He was also on Stephen Starr’s roster in Philadelphia, at age 29. He was the Chef de Cuisine at Green Valley Country Club, PA. In 2018 after losing his dear mother to cancer, he relocated to Arizona and was Executive Chef at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club in east Mesa Arizona. Chef Jones now focuses 100% of his skills in growing his catering business and providing amazing culinary experiences to every client.
I enjoy making people smile at every event. At Fire & Ice catering our motto is - dine fine, dine private, dine perfect.

Chef Sedale and team were phenomenal to work with! We hosted a 30th birthday dinner and it was such a pleasure working with Fire and Ice Catering to curate a menu for this event. Everyone absolutely loved the dinner and it was especially wonderful to that the team did the entire clean up as well. Would highly recommend booking Fire and Ice Catering!

Fire and Ice Catering provided my friends and me with amazing service during my bachelor party. They arrived promptly on time and ensured all of our bellies were filled before leaving. Every course was absolutely fantastic.
The caprese salad was unlike any salad by the same name I’ve ever had, the spare rib mac and cheese was the crowd favorite, I will be dreaming about the New York cheesecake for years to come. I cannot recommend Fire and Ice Catering highly enough. I would gladly rehire them for any future catering needs. In addition to their superior service, they were very kind and a pleasure to work with.

Where do I begin! Sedale and Fire and Ice really is the best!
The food was beyond what I expected and it was some of the best I've ever had- the meatballs, mashed potatoes, and chicken are to die for! But seriously, nothing could have been approved upon. My guests are still raving about the food.
Sedale and his team are great and I'm just sad I don't get to eat their food every day. I highly recommend!

After a lot of research and information gathering, we selected Fire and Ice Catering for a family member's 70th birthday dinner. This was our first experience hiring a private chef, and we couldn't be more pleased. Fire and Ice initially stood out because they were quick to respond, had great reviews, and offered very good pricing. When all was said and done, the entire meal was delightful, the food was delicious, and the experience from beginning to end was unforgettable! Chef Sedale Jones and his wonderful assistant April were creative and flexible with our menu, prompt and professional, and truly went out of their way to be sure we had a memorable family event. We are looking forward to having them back for future celebrations!
