Kulture

Chef Dawn Burrell traveled the world representing herself and country in the sport of Track and Field, She is a 2000 Olympian and 2001 Indoor World Champion in the long jump. Her travels exposed her to worldy cuisine and ignited a deep love for food. She returned home with a strong desire to become a chef. She brought back with her a passion to mingle flavors from her travels with the comforts of home using fresh, seasonal ingredients as the foundation. The results are dishes that take the taste buds on a culinary exploration of the new yet familiar- Global comfort food.

Being tapped into the subculture of seasonality and sourcing locally is key to Chef Dawn’s concept. You’ll often find her at farmers’ market sourcing ingredients, or just hanging out feeling the love and supporting the community. She creates dishes that delight the senses utilizing uncommonly used “bits” of the ingredients in inspiring ways. Dawn is currently the Executive Chef of the Modern Southern restaurant, Kulture, located in downtown Houston.
