John-Carlos Kuramoto was just 23 years old when he created a 12-course
tasting menu for his prospective boss that was so stellar, it helped him
clinch the head-chef position at Santa Monica’s venerable institution
Michael’s. Still there after almost three years, Kuramoto has gained a
reputation for delivering high-end contemporary American dishes with a
modern, California flair. His mentors include famed chef Ming Tsai,
with whom he trained under at Blue Ginger in Massachusetts. After Kuramoto moved to Los Angeles, he worked at Michael Cimarusti’s
two Michelin-starred restaurant Providence and Mark Peel’s critically
acclaimed Campanile. Kuramoto attended the Culinary Institute of
America. He recently appeared on “Knife Fight,” a chef competition show
on the Esquire Network.
