About
Hello! I'm Chef Daniel, an eclectic Colombian-American chef with professional training from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. I've worked with top chefs at the Border Grill, Roy Choi, Gordon Ramsey and Michelin starred Summit House in Orange County. With this experience, I can prepare almost anything from my flavorful carne asada to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes. I am also a catering liaison for Firefly, Tacos & Beer and Graze Kitchen (a Plant Powered vegan venture) along with my partner Chef Dennis Hicks of Exclusive Chefs as one of their catering chefs. Cooking has always been a part of my life. I love preparing flavorful food and teaching others how to cook. I make sure my samples are easy to duplicate when I teach, and I enjoy helping others start and continue living a healthy lifestyle. I make sure my clients are satisfied with the food and service (and pay a reasonable rate) so we're all happy.

A little late getting to this but Chef and the team was amazing! My mother in law doesn’t like seafood, so they whipped up a special steak for her. They created a comfortable environment while my wife and her girlfriends recovered from their hangovers. The girls loved it and it brought them much needed rejuvenation after a long night of Vegas shenanigans. 10/10 would recommend and although we don’t live there anymore, would definitely consider again if doing an event back home.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this vendor. The food was so delicious and plentiful, the chef was extremely personable and treated our "Queens Table" luncheon group like family. Will definitely be calling on him again
