What is your cooking style and what can people expect from the food on your menu?
My cooking style is more American food, with a touch of French and Caribbean since I was born in Puerto Rico. People can expect a lot of new cool food on my new menus - fresh fish, the best quality of meats and always the freshest produce from Florida.
How do you use social media as a chef? Do you ever post any personal content or opinions – why/why not?
I love sharing my passion for cooking with the world on social media as pictures and videos. I always
want people to see that I work hard at my art. I also share pictures of my beautiful family and our amazing time spent together.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
