Faces Of New Bedford – #24: Joshua Lemaire

image_pdfimage_print

Meet Joshua Lemaire, 27-year-old chef and owner of dNB Burger.

Having lived in the area his entire life, he was drawn by the charm of the city to the downtown area. After working in restaurants for 10 years and attending Le Cordon Bleu, his passion for cooking resulted in the birth of dNB Burger.

Now dNB isn’t your normal restaurant, that seems to be molded by a cookie cutter and operated in the typical manner every other establishment is. It is the home to a from-scratch kitchen, which only 400years ago was common place but now it is an almost non-existent commodity. With the commercialization of almost everything in our lives, Josh wanted to break the mold, which they do at dNB Burger everyday.

Although he may work longer days and work harder to grind the meat and prepare the sauces (just to name a few of the things they do daily), this is a sacrifice Josh is willing to make to serve great food to his customers. He doesn’t do what he does for the money, but for the satisfaction of serving something mind blowing to his customers.

He hopes to see the community realize what a precious city we have and start cutting some slack for the good that is really going on here. So many local entrepreneurs are taking risks in hopes to make this city better and he encourages everyone to continue their hard work.

“Someone once told me that you ‘Need to be the change you want to see in the world,’ and that really stuck with me.”
