Javier Plascencia

Bracero Cocina de Raíz, San Diego and Grupo Plascencia, Tijuana, Mexico

For JBF Award semifinalist Javier Plascencia, the U.S.–Mexico border is not a barrier between two countries, but rather the inspiration for his signature Baja Peninsula cuisine. Join us at the Beard House as Plascencia pays homage to his heritage by interweaving his rich Mexican roots and the ample bounty of California’s harvest.
