Meet the Business Owner

Jhonathan R.

Business Owner

Chef Jhonathan grew up in Suriname, the former Dutch colony which is located on the northeastern coast of South America. He grew up speaking the Dutch language as well as English. He and his family migrated from Suriname in 2002 to New York City.

As a child growing up he treasured being in the kitchen and learning all he could there. As a teenager Chef Jhonathan loved the Food Network channel, fascinated by the flames and the sizzling of the food. Inspired by the cooking techniques, he was always motivated to research recipes and give them a little twist, making them his own. Chef Jhonathan also excelled as a student in the impressive Culinary Arts training and externship programs at the innovative City-​As-​School High School in New York City.
