Johnson had already seen great success at the first-ever Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival.

“I am thrilled to bring FIELDTRIP to its first international stage alongside our excellent partners at Atlantis Paradise Island. My mission is to bring communities together through food, and FIELDTRIP is a rice-bowl concept embodying that mission by using rice as an ingredient that connects us across the globe. I am honored to be given the opportunity alongside other chefs featured at Atlantis and excited to bring my unique flavors to locals and visitors alike. See you next trip!” says Chef JJ Johnson.

He joins an enviable group of culinary superstars with restaurants at Atlantis, including Jose Andres, Alon Shaya, Michael White and Nobu Matsuhisa.
