Carlos Manriquez
Head ChefBorn in Tijuana, Mexico into a family of dairy farmers, Carlos began his culinary career at a very young age. He always loved helping his mother in the kitchen, which was not very common in traditional Mexican culture.
Carlos attended private boarding school in North Dakota, where his culinary journey began upon taking a job in the kitchen as preparation cook. Working alongside international students, fueled his interest in travel, which resulted in a global journey spanning over 81 countries, where he began researching unique food preparation techniques and extraordinary world spices.
Carlos obtained a technical degree in Dairy Science from the California Polytechnic State University. He worked for several restaurants, which cultivated into a broad scope of culinary growth. From his apprenticeship with Wolfgang Puck in San Diego, Carlos decided that the art of creating food was his true passion and he went back to school to obtain a culinary degree from the Le Cordon Bleu.
