Chef Andy brings more than a decade of New York City restaurant experience to thoughtful, highly adaptable cooking rooted in flavor, seasonality, and hospitality. His background includes Estela (✻), Mission Chinese Food, Roberta's, Flora Bar, and Gloria, where he rose from sous chef to lead the kitchen and developed a seasonal, sustainable seafood menu. He later broadened his leadership experience through executive chef roles and Brigaid, managing institutional kitchens serving thousands of seniors while developing recipes, systems, and staff training. Andy's cooking is straightforward, well-balanced, and vegetable-forward, with influences spanning American, Southern, East and Southeast Asian, Italian, and Italian American traditions. As a father who most enjoys cooking for his family, he values meals that are approachable, generous, and tailored to the people at the table. He brings a sharp palate, an eye for plating, and a client-focused flexibility to every menu, whether preparing weeknight meals or a special gathering.
