HEAD CHEF

Jusmaine  Maitre (Juju)

      I am all about making genuine connections with people over our common love for tasty food and especially Caribbean food.  I started working in the restaurant business since High School.  My first job was working as a server in a Chinese food restaurant at the mall.  I loved the job because, over time, I knew a lot of people.  I felt like a “cool kid” in that space.  Very often, customers would stop by to say “hi” even if they were not getting Chinese food that day.  It took me many years and several other jobs in the restaurant and catering arena for me to realize that I truly enjoy cooking and serving great food people enjoy.  But the real joy for me is actually forming long lasting bonds with customers, managers and co-workers…that really makes my heart happy.  As a Haitian born woman who grew-up eating Haitian food and loving the food, my next move is to share that love with as many people as possible.  I’m cooking and serving Caribbean food to my friends, colleagues, food lovers and adventurers living in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.  And to others around the world, I will keep you updated on all the deliciousness happening here via social media.  Stay tuned!
