Meet the Chef

Justin Yu , The Centurion Lounge Executive Chef, Houston

Chef Justin Yu hails from Houston and is proud to call the state of Texas home. He has worked in Michelin-star caliber restaurants in Chicago, New York, and abroad before coming home to create Oxheart, a restaurant in the heart of Houston, as an ode to the city’s cultures and ingredients. Oxheart has been honored by such publications such as Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, The Houston Chronicle, and The New York Times as one of the finest restaurants in the south. Justin was named Best Chef Southwest 2016 by the James Beard Foundation for his inventive and vegetable-forward cooking. In 2017, Justin closed Oxheart after a successful 5 year run to open Better Luck Tomorrow, a neighborhood bar with elevated bar food and Theodore Rex, a modern bistro with technique and ingredient driven cuisine.
