Jackie Gordon is an "eatertainer" - she entertains you with a tasty combination of food, music and laughter. Jackie's Russian-Italian-Jewish-Jamaican roots are studded with fantastic cooks. A native New Yorker, she grew up eating her way through the melting pot, working in restaurants, catering, food consulting and traveling the world in pursuit of delicious food.

After studying voice in New York, she moved to Australia's foodie capital, Melbourne. There she successfully pursued her singing career and opened Melbourne's first bookshop café and music store.

Forever trying to bridge her culinary and musical interests, Jackie devised the idea of recreating the dinner show. She thought if she could make the food not only as good as the entertainment, but an integral part of the show, the audience would devour it. Her first "eatertainment" show, "The Fried Chicken Theory According To Jackie Gordon", debuted in Australia in 1999. It was a hit and created a demand for corporate, private and festival productions as well as more public shows of this nature and scale. She is continually developing innovative ways to appreciate food and music together

After years of overseas success with sold-out shows, festival performances and happy private and corporate clients like Bolle, BMW, the Macquarie Bank, etc., Jackie Gordon and Divalicious, Inc. are now based in New York City. Her first U.S. "Eatertainment" show, "sayCHEESE!", debuted at the West Bank Cafe - Laurie Beechman on 42nd Street in April 2004. Jackie hosts the TV show "Neighborhood Beat - BoCoCa" on BCAT.
