Challenges and Rewards
The chef said the friendships he forged with fellow contestants were among the most rewarding aspects of the competition. Still, the most difficult part, he admitted, was being away from his family for an extended period. “I’m extremely humbled and honored to be able to represent Texas in the upcoming battle of the states,” Johnson said.
At home in Dallas, Johnson leads the kitchen at restaurant and lounge Evelyn. The concept, from Reach Hospitality — the group behind The Mexican, Black Tap and Pie Tap — captures the glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Age while pairing it with modern dining.
