Tomas Garrido Signature Chef

Chef Tomas Garrido draws culinary influence from the fresh cultural flavors and places that have seasoned his life. Born in Madrid, he picked up his love for cooking from watching the chefs that worked in his family restaurants recreating and serving his family’s recipes. His move to Puerto Rico honed his love for Latin American flavors, and living in Louisiana he developed his taste for bold spices. The crossroads of Miami helped him to become the master of fresh bold flavors in his cuisine.

 

"Being a chef is not what I do; rather, it is who I am. It's not something I turn off at the end of the day and go home. I am always looking for ways to improve and create excitement in the culinary field and to share my love and knowledge of food with others. Being part of the culinary trend is not what I want, being the culinary trendsetter is! "
