Ever since Chef JJ Johnson graduated from the world-renowned Culinary Institute of America, he seemed destined to work in the world of fine dining and that’s exactly what he did. JJ cultivated his path from storied eateries like Tribeca Grill, Jane and the Morgan Stanley Executive Dining Room and eventually became the executive chef at the Cecil, which was named the Best New Restaurant in America by Esquire.

But he wasn't fulfilled and decided to choose a new path, opening up an unassuming, fast casual rice bowl shop in Harlem called Fieldtrip, which features menu items spanning the globe and celebrates culture from all different countries.

In this eye-opening conversation learn what caused his career shift, how his roots influence his own cooking and become a rice expert in the span of just 45 minutes as JJ walks you through its fascinating history and impact on society and the world.
