Ladies and gentlemen, Eater is thrilled to present the much-anticipated Eater Young Guns Class of 2014, a group of 16 of the most distinguished young chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers, and hospitality industry professionals in the country. These are the junior statesmen of the culinary world who have most distinguished themselves this year and who are its next stars.
Representing New York this year: Fabian von Hauske, the 24-year-old pastry chef/owner of Contra, and "JJ" Johnson, the 29-year-old chef de cuisine of The Cecil. Fabian, JJ, and the rest of the Young Guns will be feted at an event in Los Angeles this evening.
Do take a minute to learn more about what makes this class so special.>>
