Our Team
Johnny Tran
ChefJohnny Tran (Otium), a spear fisherman and beekeeper, has always gravitated towards cooking New American cuisine, studying at the Art Institute of California in San Diego.
His biggest inspirations are his mom and his previous experience at Otium. His mom’s rustic cooking and Otium’s refined techniques helped him craft his skills as a chef.
Julian Cox
Executive MixologistJulian Cox is widely viewed as one of the great culinary talents of Los Angeles. He has three consecutive James Beard Nominations. Food & Wine named him a Top 10 Mixologist of the last 10 years:
“Cox has made L.A.—a city known for Red Bull and vodka—care about craft cocktails. His Barbacoa, a mix of mezcal, chipotle, and ginger syrup, is a modern classic.”
Julian worked closely with Chefs Erik Sun and Johnny Tran to create perfect pairings. “We brainstormed quite a bit and went over flavors of the food menu extensively,” he says. “If Chef does something spicy, I’ll create something with a slight sweetness. If Chef does something fatty and heavy, I’ll do a citrus cocktail to cut through the fat.”
Kevin Lin
Founding PartnerKevin Lin is best known for his role as Co-Founder and former COO of Twitch, the world’s leading multiplayer entertainment live video platform acquired by Amazon in 2014. Kevin’s accomplishments go far beyond Twitch.
