• Making it divalicious

  Jackie reinvented the dinner show.

  “I decided if people wanted a ‘dinner show,’ I would give them one. And the critical difference between my show, and the dinner shows and dinner theater I’d been to in the past was the food. It was not going to be the churned out, mediocre slop masquerading as food that you get more often than not at this type of show.”

• No singing at the dinner table!

  Yes, for a time that was a rule in the Gordon household, but it never stuck. All the Gordons displayed some form of musicality (singing, guitar, piano, drumming, the spoons, etc.) and chose to share it at whim.

• Throw another turkey on the barby

  Jackie did her bit to dispel the bad rap that American food gets globally.

  “Australia is inundated with American fast-food chains. Their concept of American food is totally corrupted. But they love great food, so I decided to do what I could to teach them about our cuisine.”
