Chef Francis Arguilla of Sushi | Bar, the recently opened 17-course omakase concept, is partnering with James Beard-nominated Chef Junior Borges for two special evenings of an 18-course omakase experience.
Chef Junior Borges will bring his extensive and impressive culinary knowledge to Sushi | Bar for four seatings with two seatings per night on Wednesday, January 24 and Thursday, January 25.
Raised in Mimoso do Sul, a small town north of Rio de Janeiro, Junior Borges lived and worked as a chef in New York City for 13 years. After graduating from the Institute for Culinary Education, he worked under Missy Robbins at A Voce before becoming executive chef at Amali, a highly regarded Mediterranean restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Borges came onto the scene in Dallas in 2014 as opening executive chef at Uchi — earning a rare 5-star review from The Dallas Morning News.
He went on to lead the kitchen at Matt McCallister’s FT33 as executive chef, and then moved to the Joule Hotel as executive chef of the property’s multiple outlets. There he developed and assisted in the success of Mirador, Americano, CBD Provisions and other concepts. Junior has most recently been recognized as a 2023 James Beard Award Semifinalist in the Outstanding Chef category.
The exclusive experience will include 18 courses of omakase featuring 9 courses from Chef Borges and 9 from Sushi | Bar ChefArguilla. Guests can expect to enjoy some of the rarest fish and caviar in the world, exclusive top-grade Wagyu beef and a Dom Perignon champagne toast.
Nightly seatings on January 24 and 25 are 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. This experience starts at $375 per person. Reservations are minimal and available here.
Sushi | Bar Dallas is located at 2111 Jackson St., Dallas, TX 75201.
