Hello, I'm Chef Jennifer Lowry.
Welcome to my Culinary Gallery.
🔥 SMALL BUSINESS MONDAY 🔥
Just a reminder that behind every event, every fire pit, every meal, and every late-night prep session is a small business owner giving it everything they’ve got.
I specialize in open fire cooking, live-fire carving stations & experiences all to ranch events, weddings, private dinners, festivals, and unforgettable food experiences throughout Southern California & beyond.
If you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, birthday, ranch gathering, winery dinner, or private chef experience, I’d love the opportunity to cook for you.
Every booking helps support a military family-owned business and allows me to keep doing what I love most—cooking over fire.

A cookout with my neighbors and friends! ❤️🔥 took the little grill out into the drive way and started feeding every neighbor I saw haha 😆 using some of my favorite marinades and seasonings for this menu from @tapatiohotsauce @chef_merito and using my favorite products like @the.trueboard cutting board, @bbq_dripez meal prep tubs, @jealousdevilcharcoal wipes, @twistedtea in hand, and having a good time 😎❤️🔥 Bringing people together and cooking 🥰❤️🔥 #militarycommunity #bbqcommunity #asado #grill #carne
I’ve been thinking about taking @emberandspiceco Ember & Spice in a new direction and creating a live-fire culinary series called:
MEXICO MEETS THE WORLD
Inspired by my mother’s roots in Delicias, Chihuahua, Mexico, each episode would bring together Mexican flavors with cuisines from around the globe over live fire.
Imagine:
🇲🇽🤝🇪🇹 Mexico Meets Ethiopia
🇲🇽🤝⚜️ Mexico Meets Cajun Country
🇲🇽🤝🇦🇷 Mexico Meets Argentina
🇲🇽🤝🇵🇪 Mexico Meets Peru
🇲🇽🤝🌊 Mexico Meets California
The idea is simple:
Mexico is the foundation. Fire is the language. The world is the inspiration.
Would you watch this?
Would you attend these dinners?
What country or region should I feature first?
👇 Drop a YES or NO in the comments and tell me where Ember & Spice should travel next through flavor and fire!

I haven’t lost count. I am just a Cali Girl trying my hardest to do this dream. I’m in the toughest spot I have ever been in business and somehow I still have the will to keep going. Idk how a lot of things are going to happen but I am grateful to at least have my family healthy and made new friends. Starting from the bottom and now what? Stay tuned….much love ❤️
Very thankful!!! @longbeachbbqfest @philosophystyle philosophy your energy is incredible. I have said this so much these past couple months but I feel welcomed back to my home state in CA for a long time I had to build and grind alone. To be welcomed like this with my vision and dream, it’s fueling to bring HERE what I built in the south BIGGER and BETTER than ever before cooking alongside my new bbq friends and family! This community is Incredible and unlike any other! I love you all! I feel the California LOVE!
I am now a proud owner of a @the.trueboard !!!!!!! This product is amazing! It has side by side heavy duty magnets to hold my knives securely, a drip stopper and drip pan to catch all the juices! And a heavy duty butcher cutting board! I am so so impressed I am going to invest in 3 more for my open fire carving stations! Highly recommend! So grateful to have met yall! Amazing Amazing Amazing! I am such a fan! @longbeachbbqfest
@longbeachbbqfest very thankful for this opportunity! Thank you for supporting small business! I loved every hour and team no sleep days to make this happen! It was all worth it! I hope to be a part of the one next year and year after that! This is something so so special and I truly love this community I have come to know. I am at a loss for words but my heart is full. THANK YOU 🔥‼️
Wow. I could cry! ❤️🔥 thank you @rasheedphilips for connecting me. Thank you @alfrugoni . Thank you @openfiremeatup @memphisinmay @melindasfoods @everyone. I am excited for the next meat up! And finding out who I can team up with to compete!
I feel I finally found the community I wished for a long time. I feel like life is going to change. I am going to keep putting in the work. Learn and grow but this time, with a new fire family ❤️🔥🔥
Grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the Frugoni team @melindasfoods @alfrugoni and be part of something truly special. I had the honor of cooking whole pig surrounded by incredible chefs and pit masters at the @openfiremeatup @memphisinmay .
I learned so much watching different techniques, taking in advice from everyone around me, and doing my best to honor each style I was taught. I ended up being the last cook standing, but more than anything, I walked away with knowledge, respect, and deeper appreciation for this craft.
Huge thank you to the leadership team—especially Captain and the entire Frugoni crew—for the trust, hospitality, and experience. Being surrounded by such talent and passion was inspiring, and I don’t take a single moment of it lightly.
This was more than a cook for me—it was connection, growth, and a big step forward. Part two coming soon.
#EmberAndSpice #OpenFireCooking #WholePig #LiveFireCooking #ChefLife Grateful
Whole pig with @alfrugoni team @openfiremeatup @memphisinmay @melindasfoods @cheffigofficial @alfrugonishop grills. Got so many great pointers from several chefs/pitmasters like Greg, @capitancocinero @chetanitamiami @girlscangrill @superskewer_bbq and appreciate @ososbbq for being extra muscle for me in this cooking process. Thankful for @redmondrelyte for keeping me hydrated in this full day cooking process. I had to lock in. I honored every advice and thankful for this community that I definitely needed and searched for a very long time. I also definitely needed the support and encouragement and vibes. I got into cooking live fire because it has become part of my healing process. Fire cooking saved my life! So honored. So grateful. More good things will come!
A dream has come to fruition! I got to collaborate with THE Victor Perez @superskewer_bbq @officialopenfirecooking at the @openfiremeatup @memphisinmay @worldchampionshipbarbecue @melindasfoods @cheffigofficial

So thankful to Debellis for having us and trusting us to feed everyone through live fire cooking. This is the kind of work I truly love doing — hard work, real fire, real food, and real community. I already can’t wait to cook out there again.

Mother’s Day weekend is almost here and it’s go time. 🔥❤️🔥
The next two days are full prep mode —mountains of Tri Tip, Pork Ribs, carne asada, vegetables, fire prep, seasoning, loading trailers, and getting everything ready for Saturday at Debellis Ranch in Acton, California.
As a mother myself, one of the biggest reasons I push so hard is to show my kids that you must go after your dreams, work with your hands, take risks, and build something from nothing. I may not have a huge name in California yet, but I have heart, passion, grit, and a work ethic that refuses to quit. I’m going to make this happen one fire at a time.
I’m proud to be representing myself and Ember & Spice Co @emberandspiceco during this collaboration and bringing people together through live fire cooking, community, and unforgettable experiences.
Huge thank you to @debellisranch and @chubbygrill_ for this opportunity and collaboration. Truly grateful. 🙏🔥

Taking a leap of faith and starting over isn’t easy… but neither is staying where you know you’re meant for more.
I’m betting on myself—my craft, my fire, my vision.
No guarantees, just grit, passion, and the willingness to rebuild from the ground up. I am a very resilient person. I will keep moving forward.
This is what growth looks like.
This is what trusting the process feels like.
Watch me turn this into something unforgettable. 🔥

Day 141. Yall are in this journey with me. I have one life. Doing everything I can to make the dream happen. Moved back to CA because my husband is a Marine and got orders here. I think it’s possible. I have potential. I got it. Working every day and pushing forward. I’m going to bring here and around the world what wasn’t appreciated enough before. This is my purpose. This is all I want to do. It’s a healing journey and comeback story unfolding right before your eyes. I’m just trying to cook and do good things. That’s it. No ego no ill intent or mischievous plans. Real, genuine, love for this.
