Chef Jorge began work with Chef Boulud first in Palm Beach before traveling to their Las Vegas location. This was followed up by a stint at Joel Robuchon at Joel Robuchon at the Mansion in the MGM Casino, also in Las Vegas.

 In 2006, Chef Jorge returned to his love of Japanese cuisine after being called to return to Nobu, this time in the Bahamas. Three years later he was tasked with opening and operating Nobu Mexico City.  Mijangos then returned to Miami and was the opening chef at Miami Beach’s Sushi Garage before joining the Pubbelly Sushi team in 2017.
