Executive Chef

Cory Chaney

Chef Cory Chaney is a self-taught chef with over 12 years of experience working in various kitchens with different types of cuisines. His cooking accentuates Julep’s southern, upscale flair and he never misses the opportunity to support local farms and ingredients.

“Our team is very excited to have Chef Chaney on our team. We routinely hear praise from customers who have had the pleasure of tasting Chaney’s innovative creations. It’s important to us that we still offer the favorite menu items that the Richmond community knows and loves, but we are also now providing new and unique dishes that we believe are memorable and worthy of attention,” said Amy Cabaniss, owner of Julep’s New Southern Cuisine.

Chaney assists in creating seasonal, rotating menus at Julep’s New Southern Cuisine that feature Southern favorites with an upscale twist.
