Scratch Restaurants Group

Scratch Restaurants Group is a Los Angeles-based, Michelin-starred culinary collective founded by husband-and-wife team Chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee. Established in 2013, the group is renowned for its dedication to the "from scratch" philosophy, emphasizing high-quality, locally sourced ingredients to create innovative and memorable dining experiences.

The group's flagship establishment, Scratch|Bar & Kitchen, offers a 25-course tasting menu showcasing Chef Phillip's bold interpretations of contemporary cuisine, while Chef Margarita's desserts provide a sweet conclusion to the meal. In 2021, this restaurant earned its first Michelin star, a testament to its exceptional quality and creativity.

Expanding their culinary footprint, the Lees introduced Sushi by Scratch Restaurants, an intimate 10-seat sushi counter experience presenting a 17-course omakase-inspired tasting menu. This concept has garnered acclaim with locations in Montecito, Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, and Healdsburg. The Montecito location received a Michelin star in 2021, underscoring the group's commitment to excellence.

In addition to their sushi ventures, the group launched Pasta|Bar, a restaurant dedicated to the art of pasta-making. The Los Angeles location retained its Michelin star for the third consecutive year in 2023, reflecting consistent pursuit of culinary excellence.

The group's expansion continued with the opening of NADC Burger, a collaboration with professional skateboarder Neen Williams. This concept, featuring premium Texas wagyu beef burgers, debuted in Chicago in February 2023 and has since expanded to Austin and Houston.

Scratch Restaurants Group's dedication to quality, innovation, and community engagement has solidified its reputation as a leader in the culinary industry, offering diverse and exceptional dining experiences across multiple locations.
