Get to know me better

Chef crafting old Florida cuisine with coastal and Cuban influences, intimate supper clubs, and warm Southern hospitality.

I’m a chef with over 20 years of experience opening and leading successful restaurants across Florida. My cooking is rooted in old Florida traditions, shaped by coastal and Cuban influences, and guided by genuine Southern hospitality. I focus on bright, thoughtfully plated food made with fresh, local ingredients and clean technique. Whether hosting a supper club or a private dinner, my goal is simple: cook honest food, make people feel welcome, and take care of them like family

More about me

For me, cooking is...

cooking is soulful and generous feeding people like family, warming bellies, evoking grandmother’s kitchens, and elevating it with playful colors

I learned to cook at...

Southern restaurants across Florida and Spanish kitchens, cooking for the Governor’s Club for over six years and working hands-on with local fishermen

A cooking secret...

My secret is cooking real food—fresh vegetables that shine, local fish, and bright, bold, clean flavors handled with care. I love what I do .
