Paul Fehribach was born and raised in the rolling wooded hills of Southern Indiana, and learned to hunt, fish, and find wild foods from an early age. Ample time spent on the family farms of relatives together with the woodland backdrop instilled a keen palate in him, reflected in the big, clean flavors he puts on the table along with a heated passion for true seasonal cooking.

Paul Fehribach is an eight-time James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes.

Zachary Chamberlin graduated from Columbia College with a degree in musical theatre, and then switched gears by coming back to his true love- cooking. Recently he has worked in the kitchens of Chato’s in Pilsen and Drawl in Lincoln Park, where he got to expand his knowledge and love of Southern cuisine. It’s that love and knowledge that Zac now puts into every dish at Big Jones, where he has worked for three years.

Zac lives in Andersonville with his wife Hannah and cat Maggie, and loves playing Dungeons and Dragons weekly in his free time.

Zach Overstreet is a Chicago Industry veteran who joined the management team at Big Jones to take the helm of our renovated bar program in April of 2024. Those of you who have been to the bar since then know the difference he's made in leading our bar program to be one of the leaders in liquid arts in the city. Zach honed his palate and his skills at the legendary Chicago bars Violet Hour and Meadowlark, and managed the bar at the formerly beloved Gadabout in Andersonville. He appreciated cocktails which are elegant rather than gratuitous in their complexity, crafting tipples which are ultimately refreshing as well as intriguing and forever memorable.
