John-Carlos Kuramoto

One of L.A.’s hottest young chefs, twenty-something John-Carlos Kuramoto worked for celebrity chef Ming Tsai at Blue Ginger outside of Boston, Michael Mina at Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel, and Providence, Animal and Campanile in L.A. In the last couple of years, he has completely reenergized Michael McCarty’s Michael’s in Santa Monica, a landmark for California Cuisine that is now getting better with age, thanks to Kuramoto.
