Jodie Ferguson has left her position as executive chef at Table Three in Wildwood for a sous chef position at Ameristar Casino. Ferguson began her new job in August. “I had an excellent experience at Table Three and worked with a lot of great people,” said Ferguson. “Beth (Williams) gave me the freedom to be who I am as a chef.”
Ferguson said she made the switch because she was eager to put her skills to work in a higher volume venue. “Right now it’s more management than cooking, and that’s fine,” she said. “It’s a foot in the door as they look to expand.”
Former Table Three sous chef and 10-year kitchen veteran Andrew Simon took the reins in the kitchen after Ferguson’s departure and said the transition has been a smooth one. “We’re getting ready to roll out the fall menu with more braised and hearty items, as well as fresh pasta and gnocchi,” Simon said. “Things are going well.”
