RJ Yoakum

Georgie - Dallas

Georgie's Executive Chef, RJ Yoakum, joined the Georgie team in January 2023 following three and a half years at The French Laundry in Napa where each year he helped retain the restaurant’s 3 Michelin stars working in all aspects of the kitchen, as well as, developing daily changing menus for the famed Thomas Keller Restaurant. 

Prior to RJ’s tenure at The French Laundry, he helped open Angler in San Francisco where in less than 3 months the restaurant earned a Michelin star. 

Chef RJ has worked relentlessly to establish great relationships with local Texas farmers and ranchers such as profound Farms, Reeves Farm and Rosewood Ranch. At Georgie, Chef RJ's singular focus is to craft a simple, delicious, and nuanced menu that allows the ingredients to shine.
