A founder and the executive chef of Pensacola’s famous Jackson’s Steakhouse, Irv Miller, a tenured ambassador of Gulf seafood, has been shaping the tastes of the Florida Panhandle for more than three decades. In addition to receiving national acclaim for pioneering “New Florida Cooking” during the late 1980s and 1990s, he continues to pave the way for many of the region’s upcoming chefs. Long before the “farm-to-table” movement, Miller was committed to sourcing Gulf Coast ingredients and Southern-inspired foods as part of his award-winning culinary efforts. In addition to his award-winning restaurant, the CIA-trained Miller has been a performing chef for the James Beard Foundation, a featured television chef, host, and guest, and is the author of Panhandle to Pan: Recipes and Stories from Florida’s New Redneck Riviera.
