A chef representing the Pacific coastline. Raised in San Diego, California - with his Mexican, New Orleans, and Spanish roots, it was common to find tamales and gumbo on the dining room table for Chef Stephen Sandoval.

As he began to explore his culinary path, he was drawn back to the robust flavors that originated across the border. A new-age style was emerging in Baja Mexico. Chef Sandoval aims to create dishes with a sense of freedom, integrating diverse cultural and personal influences that go beyond the border.
