 JŪN is the best place to experience a Top Chef dinner as calendar is filled with collabs and pop ups

August 7 to August 10, 2025: Tristen Epps Kitchen Take Over Series

From August 7th to August 10th, the team will pause JŪN’s menu and introduce to the world Buboy, the forthcoming Houston concept by Top Chef: Destination Canada winner Chef Tristen Epps. Tristen will share a 5-course tasting menu highlighting  contemporary Afro-Caribbean cuisine rooted in heritage, memory, and expressive technique. The series, like Buboy, will honor the depth and diversity of the African diaspora while pushing the boundaries of modern fine dining. Born of Trinidadian roots, Tristen traces his passion for cooking back to childhood, when he traveled the world with his active military mother. Living in Guam, Japan, and the Philippines shaped his eclectic palate and sparked a lifelong curiosity for flavor and technique.

5 course Tasting Menu: $135 + Wine Pairings $65: Reservations available here.

August 20, 2025: Wine & Dine XXI Chef Zubair Mohajir

Chef Zubair Mohajir wowed judges and viewers in season 22 with his bold flavors and ability to weave an intricate story into each dish. The Chicago-based former finance pro-turned-chef is headed to Houston for a one-night-only four course collaborative dinner with Chefs Evelyn and Henry to show off some of the skills that set him apart. His culinary career has included mastering French techniques at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon and pushing creative boundaries at Gaggan in Bangkok, absorbing global influences along the way that align creatively and with the flavor profiles that Evelyn and Henry bring to the table. It’s a can’t miss opportunity! Tickets linked here.
