FIG Catering,

Description

One of the lucky few, Justin Hall knew he wanted to make a career of cooking at a young age. Justin studied the culinary arts at a trade school during his high school years, blowing off real classes to "play with food." Since then, his passion, knowledge and repertoire have expanded to include contemporary American, Chinese and Mexican cuisines, among others. He continued his education at the Culinary & Hospitality Institute of Chicago (CHIC), but he soon found he was learning more practical skills in kitchens than classrooms. Justin spent nearly five years honing his skill with the Kimpton Group as sous chef at Atwood Café and sous and banquet chef at Hotel Monaco and South Water Kitchen, located in downtown Chicago. Justin took a position at Poag Mahone's, an Irish-American alehouse in Chicago's Financial District, where he flipped one of America's Best Burgers (according to GQ Magazine and The Oprah Show) and met his future partner. Since May 2006, Justin has devoted all of his time to building the business of FIG.
