About APX Recovery
Our Foundation
APX Recovery started from a simple idea: the people who show up to help during a disaster, Red Cross volunteers, first responders, families who've lost everything, still deserve a real meal, not something out of a box because it's easier. That idea comes from founder Brian Justice. He's owned and operated Tasteful Temptations for the last 20 years, and built his career in high-pressure, high-end kitchens, starting as an apprentice at Sea Island, then the Off-Premises Banquets and Beach Club Chef at The Breakers, then returned to the Lodge at Sea Island as a Chef.
The Chef
Chef Brian brings a five-star culinary standard to places where five-star kitchens don't exist.
His career began at The Cloister on Sea Island and took him to The Breakers in Palm Beach, where he worked across nine restaurants before becoming an Off Premise Banquet Chef. He went on to lead high volume banquet operations and serve as a Research & Development Chef for Bland Farms, developing and demonstrating Vidalia onion recipes for audiences of up to 20,000.
Brian is also a Regional Winner and National Top 3 finisher in the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Chefs Competition, an international culinary competition that challenges chefs to demonstrate technical skill, creativity, and precision under pressure.
Tasteful Temptations
For more than 20 years, Chef Brian has built Tasteful Temptations into a high-end foodservice provider for private aviation, corporate events, weddings, and large-scale operations throughout the Golden Isles, catering everything from 500-guest galas to VVIP private jets.
Its experience includes multi-year partnerships with NetJets and International Auto Processing, along with work for clients including Gulfstream, Sea Island, Halliburton, ConocoPhillips, Rich Products, and Georgia Highlands College. Tasteful Temptations has also been recognized locally, earning numerous first-place and People's Choice awards at Taste of Glynn and Shrimp and Grits.

In The Field
Before APX Recovery existed, the team was already feeding people during hurricane recovery operations, serving National Guard, law enforcement, Red Cross, and Team Rubicon volunteers on the ground when the power and water were out. That work is what shaped APX Recovery: the same standard, built for when the infrastructure isn't there to support it.
