Our story

Named for the woman who taught him to cook

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 honour 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 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.

The Cusacks opened June on East Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia in August 2019, and relocated to Collingswood in August 2021. As parents to a young daughter and son, they understand the importance of creating lasting memories around the dinner table — a place where traditions are celebrated and guests are embraced in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
