Melbourne born and bred, Justin’s culinary accolades include Michelin-starred moments at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Le Gavroche, and Can Fabes. He went on to be Culinary Director and Executive Chef for Aman Resorts, Morgans Hotels, and Six Senses Resorts. Now he’s back in Melbourne with a jaw-dropping menu at the world’s very first BANG, poised to be a Fitzroy favorite. Chef Justin’s extensive travels and diverse culinary influences converge at The StandardX, Melbourne, where he forges an unforgettable dining experience that is both innovative and grounded in his worldly explorations.

The BANG menu is designed to bring people together—sharing, enjoying and spicing things up. Whether a casual breakfast, quick lunch, afterwork drink or a celebration dinner, we’re serving seasonally driven and sustainable ingredients throughout. BANG is a culinary tapestry woven from the diverse experiences of our chef, who has explored and worked across the globe. His experiences unite into a menu heavily influenced by Southeast Asian flavours, particularly the vibrant essence of Thai street food. Thai cuisine is a culinary delight; it is a sophisticated fusion of culture and gastronomy, meant to be shared. At BANG, we are redefining street food. Traditional recipes, inspired by an influential food culture, are reimagined with local artisan produce from Melbourne and Victoria, highlighting the region’s exquisite seasonal fare. Whether a casual breakfast, quick lunch, afterwork drink or a celebration dinner, at Bang we’re serving seasonally driven and sustainable ingredients throughout.

Get ready, Justin’s about to spice things up.
