Jordan Rubin is the chef and owner of Mr. Tuna, Bar Futo, and co-owner of Crispy Gai, all located in downtown Portland, ME. Born in Massachusetts, he has nurtured a lifelong passion for Japanese cuisine that has propelled him through more than two
decades in some of the top sushi bars across New England, including Boston’s famed Uni.

In 2017, he introduced Mr. Tuna to Portland. What started as a sushi food cart and burgeoned into a dynamic concept, taking residence at Monument Square as Portland’s first hand roll bar while remaining prominent with three food trucks. Jordan has gained renown as an innovative entrepreneur while cementing the brand of his first business in the Portland hospitality community.

2021년, 조던과 셰프 파트너 사일 레이놀즈, 그리고 파트너 사샤 브루이야드는 태국풍 레스토랑 겸 칵테일 바인 크리스피 가이를 열었습니다. 이 레스토랑은 음식만큼이나 자선 활동으로도 빠르게 명성을 얻었고, 월 매출의 일부를 지역 사회 중심 비영리 단체와 공유하고 공휴일에는 무료로 따뜻한 식사를 제공했습니다.

With Bar Futo, opened in December 2022, Jordan pays homage to a new facet of Japanese cuisine, rooted in binchotan-fired cooking, yakitori-style skewers, and kakigori (Japanese shaved ice), all served in a communal and celebratory atmosphere.

Through all of his ventures, he has forged relationships with a vast network of Portland growers and fishers, taking special care to source wild-caught whole fish as part of his holistic approach to sustainability.
