Our Story

JZ Eat’s, founder, Jordan Zelesnick, fell in love with food from a young age. It started in Baltimore, with garden tomatoes and summer crab feasts. She learned to cook with her dad, expanded her palate with my mom, and found joy recreating restaurant meals at home as she got older.

She graduated from Towson University, worked in corporate marketing for 5 years, and quickly realized her passion was in the kitchen (not the boardroom). She started posting meals on Instagram, and what began as a hobby turned into a full-time business.

Now, she develops recipes, shoots food content, and writes captions that make people laugh, drool, and run right to the grocery store!
