The Yankee Chef
James Bailey, aka The Yankee Chef, is an author, columnist of note, chef and the foremost New England Food Historian. He was born January 9, 1962 in Bangor, Maine and the son of another chef, Jack Bailey. James' grandfather, Samuel Bailey, is referred to as the first Yankee Chef, being born in 1902. Being a third generation chef, he needed no formal culinary training, being the recipient of years of experience being taught to him by his father and grandfather. He started his career at Treadwells Restaurant in Hermon, Maine in 1974, washing dishes and doing whatever his father wanted of him. From that point onward, he worked with his father at several family owned restaurants throughout Maine, branching out after high school to work and learn at various restaurants throughout the United States. In 2006, he started his first food column with The Maine Edge, out of Bangor, Maine and subsequently has been picked up by over a dozen newspapers, both in print and blogging. With his fathers passing in 2001, he decided to put together a cookbook commemorating not only his passed down heritage of cooking but a dedication to his father and grandfather. He released his first cookbook, simply entitled The Yankee Chef, in February of 2013, published by Schiffer Publishing in Atglen, PA.. He currently self-produces YouTube videos on cooking, works closely with MPN Productions in Massachusetts and has retained the services of Mark Wellman as a marketing agent. He is married with 4 minor children and lives in Maine.
