About
Rubie is a Jamaican pop-up by chef Gian Scott. The concept is a love letter to Scott’s appreciation for food across the African diaspora, seasonal west coast ingredients, and the heart and rhythm of the Caribbean.
In 2015, Scott fell into cooking professionally while working at LA’s own Providence after working various food-related odd jobs. At Providence, he decided to pursue cooking for a living, and eventually led him to Seattle to further hone his skills. While working in Seattle it inspired Gian to dig into the history and traditions around Black Southern food and food from his own Jamaican roots.
In 2020, Scott and his wife returned to his hometown of Los Angeles amidst the new COVID-19 landscape, ready to explore his cuisine further and hoping to connect with other Angelenos through his food. When he’s not behind the grill, you can find him enjoying being a greyhound dad, phoning his mom, and playing a good board game.
