A little over a year ago, I met and got to hear all about his passion for food, for his craft, and for feeding people. He loves to help people form connections, and let's be honest, it's easiest over food! Chef Jonny is trained at the French Culinary Institute and was a Chef Instructor at University of Illinois. That blend of restaurant work and teaching shaped his approach: technique-driven, consistent, and always centered on the guest experience.
Because of his background, we played with some elements from French cooking, namely the duck. But the duck just isn't a duck, it's a ladle and a bowl as well. Color-wise, we wanted dark French blue, but didn't want to pick either UIUC Orange or French flag red, so we settled on something close to a tomato red, something with an orange cast, like a mid-century modern red that would be at home in a Herman Miller catalog.
