For Jordan Bohall, the transition to Bethany Blues a year ago was a smooth one. Attracted by the rustic, barbecue-centric menu and the team oriented management philosophy, Bohall stepped out the fine-dining/catering arena and into the barbecue pit. Now, a year after accepting the Chef de Cuisine position, he's been promoted to Executive Chef at Bethany Blues of Lewes, as the former Executive Chef, Michael Reiley, was promoted to Culinary Director for both locations.
Bohall has been learning in the kitchen since he was 14 years old, when he began his journey at a sub shop. When he came to train under Gary Beach at the Marlin Moon Grille, he really delved into the world of culinary arts, and that set the stage for his ascent into kitchen management.
As the Executive Chef, Bohall will continue to bring the consistency that everyone associates with Bethany Blues, but he's also running the kitchen in a traditional way—he's the man at the pass, checking every plate, and giving his team hands-on guidance and leadership. "Passing on knowledge is big for me," Bohall says. It's part of the way he learned, so it's the foundation of the way he works.
Both his passion and his pride are evident, although unassuming. Bohall is the type of chef who enjoys feedback, and touches base with customers regularly. His ability to speak with customers enhances his other responsibilities as the Executive Chef, like menu building, and team morale.
As for his cooking, he's well rounded with a healthy respect for barbecue. He wants to innovate, bringing in somewhat unexpected flavors, like Asian influences, that should surprise and delight diners. Soups are one of his specialities because of the creative process that goes into the flavor building.
As for the for the front of the house, General Manager Strohm Edwards is confident in Bohall's abilities, and the camaraderie between the front and back of house adds to the already great vibe that's cooking at Bethany Blues of Lewes.
Come on out to Bethany Blues of Lewes and see what's new. Bohall is always working on specials, and those signature soups, and he and his team can't wait to serve you up something that will please your palate!


The Yongquan 2007 AGM was held at the end of September in our regular rural location at Sifu Robertson's family farmhouse in Onecote near Leek. While the AGM is always held around the end of September this year was a little different because we combined the AGM with the first ever Yongquan competition. The competition was proposed by Sifu Kerr as a way for Yongquan students around the country to test their skills against each other, and also to have some fun.
By its very nature competition will always be bound by rules and restrictions, which can ultimately be detrimental to long-term training in our arts, so Sifu Rand had stipulated that nobody was allowed to train specifically for the competition rules beforehand. To help people observe this the competition rules were only available a short while before the event.
Saturday morning saw Sifu Rand leading the group in a training session in the sunshine outside the farmhouse, which focused on developing the internal aspects of Tai Chi Chuan form practice, followed by a session on push hands led by Sifu Robertson. After lunch and the AGM back in the farmhouse we moved into the Onecote village hall where the competition started in earnest. Both Tai Chi Chuan and Choy Lee Fut forms were judged together with moving step and fixed step push hands. It's worth noting that the competition felt much more like a training session where you were getting some great personal feedback on how you were doing with your forms and push hands from Sifu Rand and Sifu Robertson than it did a 'competition', and a good time was had by all. Sifu Smith (ably assisted by Jon Doveston) was also on hand to judge the Hsing-I practitioners links and 5 element fighting. While one person was being judged everybody else continued training.
On Saturday evening we all went out for a Chinese meal in Leek and both Chuen Pin Yoong and Michael Ash were presented with their hard won level 1 teaching certificate in Hsing-I. On Sunday morning we finished off the judging and provided some free time to train in what we'd been learning over the weekend.
One of the motions passed at the AGM was the elevation of Choy Lee Fut to the same status within the YMAA as Tai Chi Chuan and Hsing-I, with its own grading syllabus, and this will produce some changes on the Yongquan Web site in the near future, so look out for those in the members area.
I'm proud to say that I managed to win the Yongquan cup! Mainly by entering every single category available (that's a good tactic if you're thinking of entering next year b.t.w.!) 2nd place was Paul Andrews, 3rd Chuen Pin Yoong, 4th was Luke Pantelidou and 5th was George Burleigh. Sifu Rand said he was very impressed with the high standard of entrants all round, so give yourself a well deserved pat on the back if you entered!
There was a great atmosphere at Onecote and everybody had a great time while learning more about the different arts we practice in the YMAA. Thanks to everybody who attended, and I'd highly recommend everybody in the YMAA attend these events if they get the chance.
Many thanks to Sifu's Rand, Robertson and Smith for their expert tuition throughout the weekend, and especially to Angela and Chuen for cooking delicious food and to James for providing all the tuna sandwiches!

Bruntwood commissions artist for Cornerblock building
13 September 2017 - News, Bruntwood, Birmingham
A new office development in Birmingham city centre is to showcase the work and talent of award-winning artist, Joanne Masding.
Birmingham-based Joanne has been commissioned by leading property company Bruntwood to create work for its Cornerblock reception area.
The installation will feature two panels of lightweight, digitally-printed fabric attached to the wall and overlapping. Responding to movements in the air and with their changing digital images, the panels will possess a film-like quality and create a sense of flowing through the building.
Using video and sculpture, Joanne makes art to investigate the worth, ownership and production of physical objects, and how these values translate to a world that is increasingly digital, immaterial and reproducible.
Joanne said: "This is my first permanent commission, which is a really exciting prospect. With the support and investment from Bruntwood, it will allow me to make this a more ambitious work and promote a new aspect of my practice that would open up new opportunities in future."
Rob Valentine, Director of Bruntwood Birmingham, said: "Bruntwood's long-term commitment to and support of the arts meant we wanted to provide a welcoming reception space where work from Birmingham based artists could be explored.
"In all of the city regions in which we operate, we work to put original artwork into our buildings and have long standing relationships with regional educational establishments to provide students with space to display their work, as well as working with well-known established artists."
Joanne was chosen to create the piece after Birmingham-based gallery Grand Union prepared a list of suitable artists with links to the city. Her clear understanding of the task in her proposal gained universal approval from those involved in the selection process.
The 110,000 sq ft, Grade A workspace practically completed in July and has been designed to meet the needs of a range of occupiers by providing bike facilities, showers, a free on-site gym and parking.
The top floor is home to Birmingham's largest private roof terrace, offering wifi connectivity, seating areas for working or relaxing and views across the city centre.
Joanne's artwork installation is set to be unveiled in January 2018.
