St. Louis native and JBFA Semifinalist, chef Ben Grupe spent time in some of the area’s top restaurants before generating national buzz for his refined cooking and elegant hospitality at Tempus. With a post-Covid reopening last fall, the intimate eatery promptly landed on best-of lists and garnered chef Grupe a 2022 JBFA Emerging Chef semifinalist nod in the process.
