About Julian

Julian runs the kitchen from service to service: ordering, prep lists, the team of fourteen and the wood-fired grill that sits at the heart of our kitchen.

Before Hawthorne he cooked in Mexico City and San Sebastián, and it shows in his love of smoke, acidity and very simple plates.

Fire is the oldest ingredient we have.
