Justin Lambert
Executive Chef • Contemporary Southern Creative • Baton Rouge Culinary Leader
Justin Lambert found his culinary passion at young age growing up in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, the Cochon de Lait capital of the world. Moving to New Orleans at the age of 18, he started his career as a prep-cook for Marriott Hotels and learned the ways of traditional New Orleans’s famous creole cuisine style. It was not long before his talent was noticed and was asked to make the move to Baton Rouge to open the Renaissance Hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Tallulah Crafted Food & Wine Bar. While working under prestigious Chefs, Chef Justin attended Louisiana Culinary Institute where he received many awards and scholarships for his excellence.
