Marcus Jernmark: Redefining Fine Dining in LA","description":"In this episode of On The Pass, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with Swedish-born chef Marcus Jernmark \u2014 one of the most accomplished chefs of his generation, known for leading some of the world\u2019s most celebrated kitchens, including Restaurant Frantz\u00e9n and Z\u00e9n, both awarded three Michelin stars. After a global career spanning Aquavit and Per Se, Marcus has quietly spent the last four years in Los Angeles \u2014 observing, learning, and rethinking what fine dining can be. Now, with the opening of Lielle, Marcus is stepping into a new chapter. This is not another fine dining restaurant. This is a redefinition... Blending the warmth and accessibility of a bistro with the precision and intention of Michelin-level cooking, Lielle represents a shift \u2014 away from excess, away from \u201csmoke and mirrors,\u201d and toward something more human, more grounded, and more nourishing. In this conversation, Marcus reflects on: What Los Angeles has taught him about food, culture, and community Why he chose patience over speed in building his first independent project The responsibility of leading teams and building sustainable kitchens The realities of burnout, mentorship, and longevity in the hospitality industry And how becoming a father has reshaped his perspective on success and legacy This episode is not just about food...It\u2019s about evolution. It\u2019s about redefining excellence \u2014 without losing yourself in the process. And it\u2019s about why Los Angeles may be one of the most important dining cities in the world right now. If you care about restaurants, leadership, creativity, or the future of hospitality \u2014 this is a conversation worth sitting with.
