Chef Edgar Meza
“Food is the vehicle. The table is the point.”
Edgar’s path started in high school, competing nationally with the National Restaurant Association and winning in Las Vegas, San Diego, Sacramento, Kansas and St. Louis. He earned his culinary management degree at The International Culinary School. Then he worked kitchens across Orange County, building a foundation in Italian, French and Asian technique and folding it into the Mexican-American cooking he grew up with.
The Balboa Bay Resort taught him how to run a kitchen at scale. Eight years at Fleming’s shaped him as both a chef and an entrepreneur building his own brand.
To Edgar, cooking has always been about bringing people together. Some of life’s best memories happen around a table, so every event he cooks is meant to give people a reason to slow down, connect and celebrate.
