Maximal Concepts’ Brickhouse is appointing Justin Haefler to be the Mexican restaurant’s new executive chef. Following his appointment, chef Haefler is bringing a new collection of a la carte dishes featuring some of the most intricately prepared signatures from the Central restaurant.

Having previously worked with Rick Bayless, the American chef is best known for his expertise in Mexican cooking. Chef Haefler is bringing forward his knowledge of the tropical cuisine with a fine array of new, creative dishes for Brickhouse, including the molcajete nachos, featuring layers of corn crisps topped with traditional black beans, guacamole, sour cream and a handful of other toppings that yield multiple textures and flavours to the dish. 

Also showcased in the new a la carte menu are signature dishes that require complex preparation, namely the mole pollo, where the multi-ingredient New Mexico mole sauce mixes herbs, spices and Mexican chilies in a uniform brown sauce that brings depth to the achiole-marinated chicken dish. Other new dishes by chef Haefler also include the chef’s special guacamoles and prawn star 2.0.
