Chef Justin Vaiciunas creates dishes that focus on visual elements such as color and texture, drawing parallels between culinary arts and traditional painting. Together with his business partner, Michael Mauro, they opened their restaurant, Jackson, in Detroit and are expanding to Chicago with their new establishment, LIA. The venue will host a striking artwork behind the bar and serve varied new American dishes presented artfully. Each dish will be served on a unique set of tableware, transforming the dining experience into one reminiscent of an art gallery.
When developing new dishes, chef Justin Vaiciunas emphasizes visual elements like color and texture, viewing a plate as an artist views a canvas.
The new restaurant, LIA, located in Chicago, aims to integrate art into dining by showcasing local artwork and offering a unique dining experience.
Each dish at LIA will be served on a different set of plates, reinforcing the concept of dining as an art form, inspired by the dining experience at the Jackson.
Vaiciunas plans to create a tasting menu that reflects his interpretation of artwork from local artists, merging culinary arts and visual arts.
