Is this a Jordan Kahn comeback? Inside the return of Vespertine and Meteora’s rise
Few Los Angeles restaurateurs have had a more successful 2024 than Jordan Kahn. Food Jordan Kahn’s Pork Belly Cubano Chef Jordan Kahn of Vespertine, Meteora and Destroyer makes Cubano sandwiches with crispy-skin pork belly, mojo rub, pickles, mustard and Swiss cheese. It’s sort of like it’s taken care of.” At Meteora, Jordan Kahn’s latest restaurant, multiple art installations and 700 plants are meant to incorporate nature into the restaurant space. “I’d been a pastry chef my whole career and we’d always told ourselves that the best chocolate in the world came from Europe, but the cacao came from South America,” Kahn said. “If I’m featuring something on the Meteora menu or the Vespertine menu, it’s about ingredient purity, like, ‘This echoes into parts of your soul,’” Kahn said.
