Chef Santiago was born in Peru, surrounded by Peruvian flavors. Since Santiago was young, he has loved the art of cooking. After studying Hotel Administration at Le Cordon Blue in Lima, Peru, Santiago moved to New York in 2008 with a dream and a suitcase. It was there that he married the love of his life, who encourage him to continue with his passion of being a Chef.
Since then, Santiago has worked at many famous restaurants all over Long island, NY. Santiago has prepared dishes ranging from fine Italian cuisine to old fashioned BBQ and have had the honor of being recognized by a famous Long Island Newspaper food article. In trying to find his niche, Santiago realized that his true passion is to share with the world, the exquisite flavors of Peru! As a private Chef and Entrepreneur, Santiago’s passion is to be of service to others so that they can have an incredible food experience. Santiago cooks from the heart and it shows in his dishes.
Chef Chris Smith and Entrepreneur Rob Lowry met some 20 years ago working in a restaurant in Asheville, NC where the food and fun experience began. Over the years there have been marriages, children, family and friends, but the common thread has always been great meals.
Chef Chris ventured away from Western NC long enough to attend culinary school in Vancouver BC but the pull of the Blue Ridge Mountains brought him back to WNC to perfect his recipes.
In the meantime, Rob started up several successful businesses in Raleigh, NC and then found his way back to Asheville woking for a new venture.
Now in 2015 Chef Santiago, Chef Chris and Entrepreneur Rob Lowry are teaming up for this amazing and unique food venture.
Come visit us soon and be delighted by the magical flavors of Peruvian cuisine!!!
