June BYOB is a sophisticated French dining experience created by husband-and-wife duo, chef Richard and Christina Cusack, a Level 4 certified sommelier through the Wine School of Philadelphia. The restaurant offers an elevated blend of classic French cuisine with contemporary twists, including elegant tableside presentations that add an extra touch of flair—such as our legendary Canard à la Presse Voyage. Named in honor of Chef Rich’s mother, June, the restaurant reflects his earliest culinary memories, where he learned to cook alongside her in their South Philadelphia home. A graduate of The Restaurant School of Philadelphia, Chef Rich honed his skills under the mentorship of renowned chefs, including Pierre Calmels at Bibou BYOB, and roles at prestigious restaurants like Daniel NYC, Le Bec Fin, Parc Rittenhouse, and Le Cheri. He also spent time at Michelin-starred establishments in Paris, further shaping his French culinary expertise.
