Justin Sutherland’s Advice for Burnout & The Perfect Ramen Order

Chef Justin Sutherland shares how his Obachan, or grandmother, influenced his love for cooking at a young age and granted his wish for an Easy Bake Oven when he was five years old. He talks about pursuing law school after his undergraduate degree and what ultimately made him pivot to culinary school in Atlanta. Justin talks about the grind of paying his dues early in his career and what he learned when he sold all of his things and moved to Costa Rica for eight months to reset. He reveals what he has learned opening his own restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota, his advice for aspiring restaurant owners, and what concept he has up his sleeve next. Justin shares his passion for encouraging conversations around social change through his streetwear brand and uplifting minority communities through his nonprofit organization. He recalls his experience competing and winning on Iron Chef and his thoughts on the randomizer after competing on the latest season of Tournament of Champions.
