This lead him to spend a few years at Thomas Keller’s Per Se before moving on to Corton\, where he maintained two Michelin stars as a Sous Chef for Paul Liebrandt. After winning the hit TV show Chopped\, he used his winnings to invest in himself and left for Copenhagen. It was here that he interned at Noma while it held the title of “Best Restaurant In The World”. Upon returning to the US\, Justin made a cross country move to Orange County. After serving as chef at Playground DTSA\, (the only OC restaurant to make Jonathan Gold’s Top 101 Restaurants in Los Angeles list in 2017!)\, he eventually moved on to the executive chef position at Porch and Swing. A lover of travel\, Justin draws inspiration from his time spent around the world to create a very special dining experience for his guests. Justin Werner is now the Executive Chef of Trust in Santa Anna. Much like ESB’s Trust dinners\, the restaurant is an 18-seat culinary theater featuring an omakase-style tasting menu with beverage pairings with varying themes and menus based on Chef Justin’s culinary inspirations.
