JJ Boston

Hailing from the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, JJ Boston grew up appreciating the beauty of his environment and the simplicity of fresh, local food. He stayed true to his roots through more than 17 years working in fine restaurants across the country. Founded in 2005, Chef JJ’s business has grown from a personal chef platform into what’s now a hugely popular dining experience in Indianapolis.

Chef JJ has made the kamado grill the centerpiece of his two successful Indianapolis restaurants: Chef JJ’s Back Yard and Chef JJ’s Downtown. Both locations have quickly become popular destinations for private events, corporate team building, and grilling classes—all featuring meals prepared on the Big Green Egg, the most recognizable kamado-style grill on the market. The two locations now host thousands of clients each month for interactive grilling experiences with the Big Green Egg.

Chef JJ lives in Indianapolis with his wife and two children. They operate two restaurant locations and two urban farms, where they produce fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
