A celebrity chef linked to Jeffrey Epstein has insisted he only cooked for the multimillionaire pedophile — insisting he was “unaware of the depraved behavior” involving underage girls.

Long Island native Adam Perry Lang, whose Hollywood restaurant APL is backed by Jimmy Kimmel and Joel McHale, was named in court filings as being a regular passenger on Epstein’s so-called “Lolita Express” private jet.

“Almost 20 years ago, as a young chef I was hired to work for Jeffrey Epstein,” Lang explained in a statement to Eater.

“My role was limited to meal preparation. I was unaware of the depraved behavior and have great sympathy and admiration for the brave women who have come forward.”

Court documents named Lang as one of the regular passengers aboard the pervert’s private plane on several occasions in 2000 and 2001 between his homes in Florida, the Virgin Islands and New Mexico.

Lang, from Roslyn, told the New York Times in 2003 that he had just come off a four-year stint as the personal chef to a billionaire whose identity he will not reveal.

That year he also opened Manhattan BBQ restaurant Daisy May’s before moving to LA where he became best friends with Kimmel, according to Eater.
