Chef Bio

My name is Saul Jauregui and I strongly believe that food is the cultural bridge that makes us come together and show who we are, and where we come from. I was raised in Eagle Rock and Highland Park in Los Angeles and I began my culinary journey as a Prep Cook/Line Cook for Cole’s restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. After gaining some restaurant experience, I decided to be a student at the Culinary Institute of America in Northern California. While attending culinary school and taking full advantage of being in Wine country, I really got to test my skills in the Michelin circuit and worked for some of worlds most renowned chefs. I soon came back home with a wealth of knowledge and experience and decided to cook privately for some of my city’s top players and stars. I want to like to finish in the words of George Bernard Shaw… “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.”
