Since 2013, Chef JB has cooked in New American, Thai, Seafood, and Caribbean restaurants between Washington D.C. and New York City. His culinary path and passion for hospitality began with curating intimate dining experiences for friends while completing his degree at Howard University. His mission as a culinarian is to educate and expand the palates of his clients. He describes his style as creative comfort food and his food philosophy is rooted in seasonality and elevating everyday ingredients. Chef JB’s industry expertise expands beyond the kitchen with experience in event sales, design and production at premier NYC locations like Pier 17 and Collective Retreats.
