Congratulations to the winner of The Next Food Network Star - who just happens to be no stranger to Eatocracy readers.
Spoilers after the jump.
When we met Justin Warner on the street at the 2010 Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, he was dressed as the pope and working as a captain at The Modern restaurant in New York City. We knew even then that he was bound for stardom.
We nabbed him at the scene to throw down with the Raja of Riesling, Hearth and Terroir Wine Bar's Paul Grieco. Touting the pomp of the Pontiff was The Modern's Belinda Chang and Justin Warner.
Then we asked him to stop on by Eatocracy HQ and slide into guise as JDollasign.
Five Gastro-Rap Anthems: Justin Warner
He's since moved on from The Modern to open up Do Or Dine, an experimental, whimsical, and plain old delicious restaurant in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn with a few partners, and as part of his Star prize, he'll be filming a new show "Rebel with a Culinary Cause" for the Food Network.
We always knew Justin was a star. Now it's just part of his title.
