Justin Bazdarich

Justin Bazdarich moved from Kansas City to New York City in 2001 to attend the French Culinary Institute. He landed an internship at Jean-Georges and in just three years grew from intern to sous chef and then opening chef of Perry Street. Fast forward to 2011, Justin opened the well known pizza spot, Speedy Romeo, alongside Todd Feldman. 7 years later, Bazdarich went on to open his first Mexican concept, Oxomocco, which earned a Michelin Star in 2019. In his latest venture, Justin has teamed up with Restaurateur John McDonald to open Bar Tulix, a seafood-focused Mexican restaurant in Soho serving up fresh crudos, seafood tostadas and other Baja California specialties.
