About HAGS

Chef Telly Justice is an out and proud Trans Woman who has been working in the industry for over a decade . After having worked at all levels of dining- from anarchist vegan cafes to Michelin starred restaurants- Telly has devised a food philosophy that puts people and relationships first, ego last. Expect deliciousness, thoughtfulness and intentionality, Queerness, and fun as the key touchstones of her menus.

Camille Lindsley is a certified sommelier determined to bring southern hospitality to HAGS. Despite growing up a picky eater, food has long fascinated her. She began her career working as a Maitre ‘d in Decatur, GA where she quickly fell in love with wine. Camille’s approach to hospitality is simple- food and drink nourishes the body, and the way that we do so nourishes the spirit. The relationship between guest and host is one built on trust not easily achieved but earned through care, compassion and transparency.

Telly and Camille will be opening the HAGS brick and mortar late fall 2021 in the East Village. Equitable, inclusive dining is coming to lower Manhattan... and it's going to be delicious!
