Welcome to FoodWorks!

Fresh,
house-made shareables

Take a peek at our Chefs— and our Earthstone open-flame pizza oven— in action! From our malt-sourdough crust to our wing sauces and marinades, a lot of our menu is made from scratch, daily. We care about the quality of ingredients and where our food comes from which is why we’ve teamed up with local farms near our Laurel Maryland location for meat and produce. 

a game changer for meat & fish

FoodWorks also features six state-of-the-art DRYAGER™ cabinets where we dry age a range of premium proteins which you can choose from to build your own butcher board— including fish and beef.

DRY AGE PROGRAM

From our chef

At Jailbreak, we focus on honest and simple ingredients which translates into delicious, satisfying food. Although the food is at the forefront of our operation, the significance of our staff and culture cannot be understated. At the end of the day, our team defines the main purpose of why we do this every day.

Meet Our FoodWorks team!

Chef Juan

When he’s not crafting bold flavors in the kitchen, you’ll find him cheering on FC Barcelona or reminiscing about the breathtaking landscapes of Guatemala—the most beautiful place he’s ever seen.

Chef Lara

Meet Chef Lara—culinary artist, book lover, and tea enthusiast. She finds inspiration in plants, gardening, and a good horror story, especially on a cozy, cloudy day. 

Chef Chris

Chris has been a key part of the Jailbreak kitchen team for 4 years, holding down the back of house with skill and dedication. When he’s not whipping up delicious meals, you’ll find him biking along the scenic trails of Patapsco.

Chef Tré

Tré has been cooking since the high school years, and joined a culinary program where he was able to learn the fundamentals and hone his passion for the industry. He loves the creativity that is encouraged in the FoodWorks kitchen, and his inspiration as a chef is based on how food brings people together!

Chef Jong

Jong’s culinary journey began early in life, cooking after school alongside his mom and grandmom. What started off as a chore quickly turned into a passion! Jong loves experimenting with flavors and diving deep into the history and background of specific dishes. 

Chef Rob

He is a culinary craftsman with an eye for artistry, both in the kitchen and beyond. He dreams of visiting Le Louvre in Paris to soak in its masterpieces and has always wanted to learn blacksmithing, blending fire and metal like he does with flavors and ingredients. 

Chef Min

Meet Chef Min—bold in the kitchen and adventurous at heart. He’s captivated by the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas, enjoys watching surfing, and wouldn’t mind diving into a pool of lime seltzer water.

Chef Chris

Meet Chef Chris—a master of hands-on craftsmanship, whether in the kitchen or beyond. He believes future generations will long for the days of working with their hands and, if possible, he’d have a perfectly tame, housebroken bear as a pet.

Chef Janny

Meet Chef Janny—culinary artist with a love for laughter, music, and dogs. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls never fails to crack him up, he dreams of composing an orchestra, and if he weren’t in the kitchen, he’d be running a dog rescue.
