Austin Young

Hailing from Costa Rica and Ohio, Austin has spent the last 11 years living in Washington, D.C., the entirety of which he has spent working in the restaurant industry in a variety of different capacities. His diverse career experience includes starting the Dangerously Delicious Pie truck, bartending on H Street, undertaking more volume-based work at the legendary Eighteenth Street Lounge, and serving as General Manager for DC’s award-winning restaurant, Compass Rose. It was there that he met, and became close friends with, Bammy’s Co-Executive Chefs, Gerald Addison and Chris Morgan. Following the success of Compass Rose, Austin moved to Michelin-Starred Maydan, where he brought a varied skill set to the team. Austin’s drive is fueled by his passion to continue to find new ways to create a fun, unique dining experience while always maintaining the highest level of service for his customers -  from start to finish.
