From Backyard Dreams to Culinary Excellence: The Hi-Lo Taco Story
From backyard cookouts to a beloved city staple, Hi-Lo Taco’s journey is proof that passion and innovation go hand in hand. With the Game Changer Smoker® in his corner, Chef Jeff Newman is excited to continue redefining what a taco experience can be.
A Chef’s Journey: From the Backyard to the City’s Heart
Chef Jeff’s journey to Hi-Lo Taco is as rich and diverse as his menu. With a background in fine dining and a resume that includes working with Michelin Star chefs and developing menus for major restaurant brands, he wanted to bring that high-end quality to a casual dining experience. “I’ve worked all over the world in some of the best kitchens, but I wanted to create something approachable—something that offers fine dining flavor without the pretension,” says Chef Jeff.
Discovering the Game Changer: A Smoker That Scaled with the Vision
For Hi-Lo Taco, the Game Changer Smoker has truly lived up to its name. It’s a versatile tool that enables the kitchen to produce large volumes of food while maintaining the high standards Chef Jeff is known for. From smoking meats and dehydrating ingredients to preparing unique menu items like smoked margarita rims, the Game Changer Smoker is an integral part of what makes Hi-Lo Taco a standout in the Philadelphia food scene.
