Jun Makino drew on a long, multifaceted restaurant background to open Junz in Parker in 2003. To the delight of many diners, the 29-year-old chef combined his Japanese cultural background and French-chef training to invent a restaurant that serves sushi and mi soup appetizers before an entree of broiled Chilean sea bass with risotto and lobster bouillabaisse sauce. "It was hard at first, because people didn't understand what French and Japanese meant, but now people are starting to open their eyes," says Makino, who was born in Tokyo and moved to the United States at age 4.
