About Devon Junkin
Devon Junkin started cooking for his friends when he was a teenager, and in his early 20’s he made the decision to attend culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. After meeting his pastry-chef wife, Taylor during a stint at San Diego’s Laurel, he moved with her to Chicago to explore new techniques and gather experience in the traditions of classic bistro cooking. While there, he worked as Sous Chef at Duchamp, and later, as Chef de Cuisine at Takashi, where he was inspired by the attention to detail and high expectations of the culinary team. He returned to San Diego eager to bring home the knowledge he had gained and excited to have access to the area’s bounty of beautiful produce and seafood.
His love of music and art combine with his appreciation of precise technique to create something personal, which appeals to the senses, crafted with honesty and respect. His style of cooking is clean, simple and flavorful, and he is not afraid of butter.

131 years later, Ruhstaller remains committed to the Captain’s legacy. Our beer is made with California hops and barley, grown by farmers we know and trust like Dave & Dia Utterback of the historic Signorotti Hop Ranch in Sloughhouse.
