Pinnacle Grill Chef Jody McLeod
Chef Jody McLeod thinks of himself as the all-Canadian boy. Born in Toronto, he grew up in Edmonton and got his first paying job there at the age of sixteen working for one of his dad’s friends in the kitchen at the Château de Combe - the top rated restaurant in Edmonton at the time. While Jody will nott tell us how much he got paid, he did work there everyday after school and during the summer for three years, eventually finding himself as Sous Chef at the Calgary Tower at the age of nineteen. Eventually adventure called and from 1998-2001, Jody found himself as Executive Chef at the Sci-tech Hotel in Beijing China, under the tutelage of Master Wu. Jody finds it amusing that although he has been in the kitchen his whole life, including working under his dad as small child, he has never had to ever wash dishes! He joined Holland America Line in 2002 and has been on the ms Ryndam, ms Zaandam, ms Zuiderdam, ms Statendam and now the ms Prinsendam. When not working he enjoys Bacardi, fishing, 4x4 off-roading and hunting - not necessarily in that order!
