About Stoneking: Chef Joshua Stoneking has been cooking for as long as he can remember. He grew up in a family where food was a strong part of their culture and cooking from scratch was an everyday activity. At the age of 14, Joshua began to work in a small local restaurant on the weekends; he remembers feeling very “at home” in this environment. After going to college to pursue a career in architecture, Joshua decided that expressing his artistic creativity through culinary arts was a better fit for him.
Stoneking graduated from the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago in the fall of 2003, which was concluded by an internship at Oakleys Bistro. Within the next two years, he went from intern to Executive Chef while getting married and starting a family. In 2006, he began a career in corporate dining where he was Executive Chef for the Eli Lilly campus. He spent the next 9 years focusing on improving the food culture for the Indianapolis-based company. This included organizing an onsite Farmer’s Market and Garden as well as opening a Farm to Fork Restaurant on site in 2013. Joshua also had the opportunity to compete nationally in ACF culinary competitions where he spent two years training under Master Chef Kevin Gawronski. His success as a chef allowed him opportunities to support new business sites such as Nike HQ, 3M, and Nationwide Insurance.
In 2016, Joshua was offered the Executive Chef job for the Indianapolis Colts. After just one season, he decided that working for himself would provide a greater opportunity to impact lives with his cuisine. In that time Stoneking was the private chef for numerous professional athletes, the Irsay family, and more.
Chef Stoneking operates under two philosophies in the kitchen. The first being “Simple food, done well,” and the second because of that food has the power to inspire and change lives. Philosophy is this, Joshua has donated his time and talents as a Chef to several non-profits around the Indianapolis area as well as the Green Mango Café in Battambang, Cambodia, which serves as both a restaurant and culinary training facility for victims of human trafficking.
