Meet Chef Justin, , Executive Sous Chef at The Modern.
From a young age, Justin found his place in the kitchen growing up in New York City, first alongside his mom and grandmother, then working his way through nearly every role in restaurants. After a stint in Germany, he was drawn to The Modern’s seasonal approach and celebration of ingredients, where he’s spent the last five years honing his voice on the line.
Justin’s time abroad continues to shape his cooking style, including the first Bar Room dish he brought to the menu: a Swabian-style German potato salad, warm and tangy, and a staple dish of the region.
Thank you, Chef Justin, for sharing your craft with us.
