Chef

Chef Chicas was born in El Salvador and moved with his family to the D.C. metropolitan area as a child. Chicas credits his grandmother for sparking his initial culinary verve of him, by introducing him to a myriad of flavors and indulging his curiosity for all things culinary.

Chicas attributes his knowledge to working with other top chefs, traveling to different parts of the world, and experiencing different cuisines. Most significant, however, was his home life, which revolved around delicious food.

Chef Chicas worked as Executive Chef at the four-star rated Bazaar in Beverly Hills, CA and Zaytinya in Washington, DC. Under his guidance, both restaurants were nominated for “Restaurant of the Year” by James Beard.
