 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, all while pursuing
her other passion, singing.
She moved to Australia's foodie capital, Melbourne.
There she successfully pursued her singing career and
opened the first bookshop café.
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.
