Baran's 2239
He first worked at Fleming's Steakhouse while attending college, and moved on to work in
prominent L.A. kitchens including Brix@1601 in Hermosa Beach (named one of Los Angeles
magazine's Top 10 New Restaurants in 2009) and Bistro Bagatelle in West Hollywood.
Under James Beard nominated chef Casey Lane, Gugliotta gained attention at Abbot Kinney
hot-spot, The Tasting Kitchen in Venice Beach, where he played an important role in shaping
the award-winning menu. In 2016, he helped open Baran's 2239 as Executive Chef, where
he helms the kitchen, bringing an elevated, farm-to-table dining experience like no other to
L.A.'s South Bay neighborhood.
Nestled in Hermosa Beach, Baran's 2239 is mastering
classic California dishes with Mexican, Asian, and
European influences prevalent in Los Angeles.
Jonathan and Jason Baran, restaurant owners and
brothers, created a laid-back space designed to
highlight the culinary talent of Executive Chef Tyler
Gugliotta.
A Torrance native with deep Italian roots, Chef
Tyler Gugliotta fell in love with the culinary arts at a
young age. After years of watching his father, a well
known fine-dining chef, in the kitchen, he decided
to pursue cooking as a profession as well.
